Chomsky, Noam
Born Dec. 7, 1928, in Philadelphia. American linguist. Chomsky studied at the University of Pennsylvania and at Harvard University. He is now a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In “Transformational Analysis” (1955) and Syntactic Structures (1957), Chomsky laid the foundations of the theory of generative grammar and of the theory of formal languages as a branch of mathematical logic. Some of Chomsky’s ideas have met with criticism from other linguists. One of his controversial ideas is the notion that the formal apparatus of generative grammars is sufficient for an adequate description of the syntax and of several aspects of the semantics of a natural language. Guided by the belief that the basic, or deep, structures of language are similar in all languages of the world, Chomsky proposed the use of linguistics as a means of studying the mind (Language and Mind, 1968). Chomsky spoke out against the war in Vietnam in American Power and the New Mandarins (1969) and At War With Asia (1972). REFERENCEKarrer, W., and E.
