Reviews

[Lachlan Jacob]

Having read some of Chomsky's more political writings, as well as having come across him in my Computer Science studies, it was very interesting to hear more about his contributions to linguistics. I appreciated the way the author looked at his work over time as this gave good context for his theories and ideas.

Meh

[Seth Dunn]

A decent enough introduction to Chomskyan linguistics.

[Liam Battle]

Second Modern Masters book that I’ve read, great intro to Chomsky’s technical ideas, which are his most interesting.

[Rita]

Simple and good enough intro to syntactic structure and some of Chomsky’s work.

[Ma'am Saoud]

[Lysergius]

A useful biography for those who approach Chomsky as a linguist and are looking for a way into "Studies on Semantics in Generative Grammar"

[Jack]
