Synopsis

Why do we know so much more than we have evidence for in certain areas, and so much less in others? In tackling these questions--Plato's and Orwell's problem--Chomsky again demonstrates his unequalled capacity to integrate vast amounts of material. David W. Lightfoot, University of Maryland ||I feel that it is his most persuasive defense of the idea that the study of linguistic structure provides insight into the human mind. Frederick J. Newmeyer, University of Washington|Why do we know so much more than we have evidence for in certain areas, and so much less in others?

A clear introduction to current thinking on grammatical theory. |David W.

The best available introduction to Chomsky's current ideas on syntax made accessible to the non-specialist. |Julius M. Moravcsik, Stanford Unviersity
