Summary: 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

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.
