Synopsis
In this book Noam Chomsky reflects on the history of 'generative enterprise'-his approach to the study of languages that revolutionized our understanding of human languages and other cognitive systems. In his lively and engaging style, he presents advances in current grammatical theory called 'Minimalist Program', sketches some of the key issues that have characterized generative grammar in recent years, and charts out the agenda for future research in language theory. Linguists interested in the internal history of generative linguistics will find this book insightful as also students and general readers who wish to gain an introductory knowledge of the discipline, its significance, and Chomsky's contribution.

About the Author
Avram Noam Chomsky (/ˈnoʊm ˈtʃɒmski/; born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, logician, social critic, and political activist. Sometimes described as "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy, and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He has spent more than half a century at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is Institute Professor Emeritus, and is the author of over 100 books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media. Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism.
