Noam Chomsky and Major Debates in Linguistics (The Cambridge Companion to Chomsky)
LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE
This collection surveys Chomsky’s contributions to linguistics, the study of mind, and political criticism.
Its linguistic chapters examine the language faculty and the biological-minimalist program.
Other contributions discuss how mental capacities can be investigated and explained.
The political chapters consider capitalism, media, foreign policy, and the Palestine–Israel conflict.
The volume places these debates within the wider development of Chomsky’s thought.
