Description
Noam Chomsky's work has profoundly influenced current thinking on the mind and language. This volume contains two new papers by Chomsky and assesses the "Chomskyan turn" in linguistic and cognitive sciences. The essays by Chomsky review the current state of the generative enterprise, and present his functional approach to principles of universal grammar. The chapters in the second part of the book explore different facets of Chomsky's contribution to linguistics and the adjacent fields of philosophy and psychology. They cover a range of topics including semantics, pragmatics and Cartesian linguistics.
