Synopses & Reviews

Review:

Why do we know so much more than we have evidence for in certain areas, and so much less in others? In tackling these questions--Plato's problem and Orwell's problem--Chomsky again demonstrates his unequalled capacity to integrate vast amounts of material.... a clear introduction to current thinking on grammatical theory.David W. Lightfoot, University of Maryland

Review:

This is an excellent contribution to the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind.... The best available introduction to Chomsky's current ideas on syntax made accessible to the non-specialist.Julius M. Moravcsik, Stanford University

Review:

I feel that it is his most persuasive defense of the idea that the study of linquistic structure provides insight into the human mind.Frederick J. Newmeyer, University of Washington
