Synopsis
Harris tells the story of a schism that developed in the ranks of linguistics during the sixties and seventies, between Noam Chomsky and a group of his followers who formed a splinter group that took his ideas in a different direction. The dispute is filled with personalities and anecdotes, and also serves as a case study in the way scientists and scholars negotiate theories.
