It's possibility that enough of his ideas have become common that the native guide is no longer necessary, but, if you have trouble following this book, you might be better off with a book about generative grammar, rather than trying to read this one. ( ) Chomsky's breakout theoretical statement which started a revolution in linguistics. I found it very exciting when I read it. It changed my entire view of the human mind and of language, showing a complexity in language production not even hinted at in structural linguistics or in high school grammars. The notion that we can produce an infinite number of sentences in any language changged everything. Too bad his later works didn't live up to the promise of this one. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Noam Chomsky's first book on syntactic structures is one of the first serious attempts on the part of a linguist to construct within the tradition of scientific theory-construction a comprehensive theory of language which may be understood in the same sense that a chemical, biological theory is understood by experts in those fields. It is not a mere reorganization of the data into a new kind of library catalogue, nor another specualtive philosophy about the nature of man and language, but rather a rigorus explication of our intuitions about our language in terms of an overt axiom system, the theorems derivable from it, explicit results which may be compared with new data and other intuitions, all based plainly on an overt theory of the internal structure of languages; and it may well provide an opportunity for the application of explicity measures of simplicity to decide preference of one form over another form of grammar.
