'Chomsky makes linguistics intellectually interesting, he makes it exciting, and he makes it a discipline that matters to the wider scientific community.' Stephen Pulman, The Times Higher Educational Supplement
'Perhaps the most accessible introduction to Chomsky's linguistic thought available.' The Guardian

Product Description
In On Nature and Language Noam Chomsky develops his thinking on the relation between language, mind and brain, integrating current research in linguistics into the burgeoning field of neuroscience. The volume begins with a lucid introduction by the editors Adriana Belletti and Luigi Rizzi. This is followed by some of Chomsky's recent writings on these themes, together with a penetrating interview in which Chomsky provides the clearest and most elegant introduction to current theory available. It should make his Minimalist Program accessible to all. The volume concludes with an essay on the role of intellectuals in society and government. Nature and Language is a significant landmark in the development of linguistic theory. It will be welcomed by students and researchers in theoretical linguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive science and politics, as well as anyone interested in the development of Chomsky's thought.

Words Have Meaning
27 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
In an age of technology where everything is demoted to 4-character acronyms and semi-colons followed by parenthesis, we actually forgwt that words have meanings. Words derived from the need to communicate. Perhaps this lack of understanding of language and semantics, has led to the overall inability to communicate, even in an era where mass communication is encircling the globe. Chomsky is the champion of intellect and language. His insight and research and philosophy make this, of course, required reading for every writer, politician, or communicator.
