Abstract:

This book presents a discussion by Noam Chomsky of some of the much
controversial issues raised within the scientific field of linguistics
since the inception of generative grammar in 1957. Based on the text of the
talk given by Noam Chomsky at Bo?aziçi University, Istanbul, in 2002, the
book presents Professor Chomsky's views on the philosophical bases and the
historical development of the field of biolinguistics in the course of
which he focuses on issues such as cognition, linguistics as a science, how
the field developed, its nature and how it fits into the other domains of
science. 

The questions raised within the question-comment session lead Professor
Chomsky to expand his views on the nature of Universal Grammar, in
particular on the philosophical underpinnings of the program which
disfavors the view that languages are radically different. Professor
Chomsky also answers questions on the implications of theory-internal
assumptions such as the determinants of phasehood in syntax, the nature of
the innateness hypothesis, the nature-nurture debate within language
acquisition, in particular the validity of the poverty of the stimulus
arguments, the nature of the semantic component and the representation of
the mental lexicon and the political implications of his Universal Grammar
position on his activist stance.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
