Cartesian linguistics: a chapter in the history of rationalist thought / Noam Chomsky - 3rd ed. - Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009. - v, 158 p. ; ill.: 24 cm. Book
Includes Bibliography and Index.
Cartesian Linguistics (CL) began as a manuscript written while Noam
Chomsky was a 35-year-old fellow of the American Council of Learned
Societies. An early version of it was prepared for presentation as a Christian
Gauss lecture on Criticism at Princeton University early in 1964. Perhaps
because it proved beyond the audience, it was not delivered, and Chomsky
presented a general lecture on linguistics as understood at the time. The manu
script, however, was revised and published in 1966. An intellectual tour de
force, CL is not an easy text to read, but it is certainly a rewarding one. It is an
unprecedented and– so far– unequalled linguistic–philosophical study of
linguistic creativity and the nature of the mind that is able to produce it. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/28
