Language and Responsibility by Noam Chomsky is an influential examination of linguistics, political philosophy, intellectual responsibility, and the relationship between language, thought, and society. Based on a series of conversations with French intellectual Mitsou Ronat, the book presents Chomsky's ideas in an accessible interview format, exploring his groundbreaking contributions to modern linguistics alongside his broader views concerning politics, ideology, education, and the responsibilities of intellectuals. Chomsky discusses transformational-generative grammar, the nature of human language, linguistic creativity, and the relationship between language and the human mind. He also examines the political implications of language, the influence of institutions on public discourse, and the importance of independent critical thinking. Originally published in France in 1977 under the title Dialogues avec Mitsou Ronat by Flammarion, the work was translated into English by John Viertel, with revisions copyrighted in 1979 by Noam Chomsky, This copy is the First American Edition, published in 1979 by Pantheon Books, New York, with the original hardcover binding and dust jacket. The copyright page explicitly identifies this edition as the First American Edition. Noam Chomsky is widely recognized as one of the most influential linguists and intellectual figures of the twentieth century. His work fundamentally transformed modern linguistic theory and contributed to continuing debates concerning philosophy, psychology, political thought, and the role of intellectuals in society. A desirable vintage hardcover edition for collectors of Noam Chomsky, linguistics, philosophy of language, political philosophy, intellectual history, and twentieth-century nonfiction.…
