Does Zipf's Law suggest that Chomsky's innate language ideas are valid? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law

I don’t see how Zipfs law is related. Universal Grammar says nothing about frequency of words, I think.

I had not heard of Zipf's Law. Doesn't the Ted Talk by Boroditsky also support Chomsky, at least to a degree?
