Introducing Chomsky: A Graphic Guide
- The epoch-making theories of linguist Noam Chomsky maintain that the human brain has an innate language faculty, and that part of this biological endowment is a "universal grammar"—a theory of principles common to all languages.
The epoch-making theories of linguist Noam Chomsky maintain that the human brain has an innate language faculty, and that part of this biological endowment is a "universal grammar"—a theory of principles common to all languages. Introducing Chomsky traces his understanding of the cognitive realities involved in the use of language, and the technical apparatus needed to represent it, as well as the implications of this understanding for institutions of power and oppression. Like the other titles in the Introducing series, this book illuminates the essential arguments and concepts of its subject in a graphic context of informational and impressionistic cartoons, drawings, and diagrams, along with quotes, voice balloons, sidebars, and other visual commentary.
