Description
Harris tells the story of a schism that developed in the ranks of linguistics during the sixties and seventies, between Noam Chomsky and a group of his followers who formed a splinter group that took his ideas in a different direction. The dispute is filled with personalities and anecdotes, and also serves as a case study in the way scientists and scholars negotiate theories.

Description
This is an account of the schism that developed in linguistics during the 1960s and 70s, between Noam Chomsky with his revolutionary ideas about mental structure and universal grammar, and his disciples who took his ideas in a direction he was unhappy with. The repercussions of this divisive and acrimonious dispute remain in the ways that linguists look at language and the mind.
