Language and Mind - Universidad de Granada

Language and Mind

This is the long-awaited third edition of Chomsky��s outstanding collection

of essays on language and mind. The first six chapters, originally published

in the 1960s, made a groundbreaking contribution to linguistic theory. This

new edition complements them with an additional chapter and a new preface, bringing Chomsky��s influential approach into the twenty-first century.

Chapters 1�C6 present Chomsky��s early work on the nature and acquisition of

language as a genetically endowed, biological system (Universal Grammar),

through the rules and principles of which we acquire an internalized knowledge (I-language). Over the past fifty years, this framework has sparked an

explosion of inquiry into a wide range of languages, and has yielded some

major theoretical questions. The final chapter revisits the key issues, reviewing

the ��biolinguistic�� approach that has guided Chomsky��s work from its origins

to the present day, and raising some novel and exciting challenges for the study

of language and mind.

n o a m c h o m s k y is Professor of Linguistics at Massachusetts Institute of

Technology. His many books include New Horizons in the Study of Language

and Mind (Cambridge University Press, 2000) and On Nature and Language

(Cambridge University Press, 2002).
