On Nature and Language by Noam Chomsky (PDF)

Description

In On Nature and Language Noam Chomsky develops his thinking on the relation between language, mind and brain, integrating current research in linguistics into the burgeoning field of neuroscience. This 2002 volume begins with a lucid introduction by the editors Adriana Belletti and Luigi Rizzi. This is followed by some of Chomsky’s writings on these themes, together with a penetrating interview in which Chomsky provides the clearest and most elegant introduction to current theory available. It should make his Minimalist Program accessible to all. The volume concludes with an essay on the role of intellectuals in society and government. Nature and Language is a significant landmark in the development of linguistic theory. It will be welcomed by students and researchers in theoretical linguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive science and politics, as well as anyone interested in the development of Chomsky’s thought.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐In the books I read there is not a single more cited author then Noam Chomsky. Curious about this man and knowing that his major contributions have been in the realm of language I decided the pick up the book. While I found what he has to say very thought provoking and intellectually stimulating it is not straight forward. If you have no background to language at all it takes some serious effort and slow reading to read this book. It’s pretty short and some parts are pretty dry but I cannot deny that the conclusions and topics discussed are both intellectually stimulating and provocative in nature.If you are just looking for books that stretch your mind there are other books out there that may resonate more strongly with your interests but this is as good as any.

⭐Great book

⭐In an age of technology where everything is demoted to 4-character acronyms and semi-colons followed by parenthesis, we actually forgwt that words have meanings. Words derived from the need to communicate. Perhaps this lack of understanding of language and semantics, has led to the overall inability to communicate, even in an era where mass communication is encircling the globe. Chomsky is the champion of intellect and language. His insight and research and philosophy make this, of course, required reading for every writer, politician, or communicator.

⭐Great service and quality product.
