Book Description
This is the long-awaited third edition of Chomsky's outstanding
collection of essays on language and mind. The first six chapters,
originally published in the 1960s, made a groundbreaking contribution
to linguistic theory. This new edition complements them with
an additional chapter and a new preface, bringing Chomsky's
influential approach into the twenty-first century. Chapters
1-6 present Chomsky's early work on the nature and acquisition
of language as a genetically endowed, biological system (Universal
Grammar), through the rules and principles of which we acquire
an internalized knowledge (I-language). Over the past fifty
years, this framework has sparked an explosion of inquiry into
a wide range of languages, and has yielded some major theoretical
questions. The final chapter revisits the key issues, reviewing
the 'biolinguistic' approach that has guided Chomsky's work
from its origins to the present day, and raising some novel
and exciting challenges for the study of language and mind.
