Noam Chomsky is one of the leading intellectual figures of modern times. He has had a major influence on linguistics, psychology and philosophy, and a significant effect on many other disciplines, from anthropology to mathematics, education to literary criticism. In this rigorous yet accessible account of Chomsky's work and influence, Neil Smith analyses Chomsky's key contributions to the study of language and the study of mind. He gives a detailed exposition of Chomsky's linguistic theorizing, discusses the psychological and philosophical implications of Chomsky's work, and argues that he has fundamentally changed the way we think of ourselves, gaining a position in the history of ideas on a par with that of Darwin or Descartes. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to account for Chomsky's most recent work, including his continued contributions to linguistics, his further discussion on evolution, and his extensive work on the events of September 11th, 2001.

Noam Chomsky is not only one of the most influential, but also one of the most controversial figures in 20th century linguistics. In view of the polarization of opinions on Chomsky, giving a balanced account of Chomskyan linguistics is an ambitious venture. The approach chosen here is to describe both Chomskyan linguistics and the positions defended by its opponents in terms of research programmes.

Chomsky has had a major influence on linguistics, psychology, and philosophy. In this rigorous yet accessible account of Chomsky's work, Neil Smith analyses Chomsky's key contributions to the study of both language and the mind. He gives a detailed exposition of Chomsky's linguistic theorizing, and examines the ideas for which he is best known. Smith discusses the psychological and philosophical implications of Chomsky's work, and argues that he has fundamentally changed the way we think of ourselves. Smith examines Chomsky's political ideas and how these fit intellectually with his scholarly work. The final chapter spells out the themes - rationality, creativity and modularity - that unite the disparate strands of his vast output. Throughout, Smith explores the controversy surrounding Chomsky's work, and explains why he has been both adulated and vilified.

Arguments minimalistes est une présentation systématique et détaillée du Programme Minimaliste défini par Noam Chomsky il y a une vingtaine d’années et qui n’a cessé d’évoluer depuis. Le livre dresse un état des lieux de la théorie générative d’aujourd’hui, en prenant pour point de départ les textes de Chomsky lui-même. Le minimalisme inaugure une nouvelle façon de penser syntaxiquement et il vaut la peine d’examiner en détail les arguments que Chomsky invoque à l’appui de ce nouveau programme, qui met l’accent sur un ensemble de facteurs relativement ignorés dans les modèles précédents, mais qui doivent être, selon Chomsky, pris en compte prioritairement quand on cherche à construire une théorie du langage pleinement adéquate, allant au delà de l’adéquation explicative. Le fait que le langage soit en relation d’interface avec d’autres systèmes cognitifs auxquels il doit livrer des représentations lisibles, la nécessité de représenter la dualité de la sémantique, celle de linéariser les objets structuralement complexes produits par le mécanisme computationnel sont autant de dimensions qui contribuent nécessairement à façonner la Faculté de Langage et doivent intervenir dans la construction des grammaires. Cette synthèse, qui vise aussi à familiariser le lecteur avec les techniques d’analyse minimaliste, s’adresse aux étudiants avancés et aux linguistes confirmés, intéressés par la syntaxe et par les modèles formels en linguistique. Arguments minimalistes (Minimalist Arguments) is a state-of-the-art detailed and systematic introduction to the Minimalist Program, which was proposed by Chomsky twenty years ago and has been evolving ever since. The book reviews the current state of generative theory by taking Chomsky’s texts as a starting point. Minimalism introduces a new way of thinking syntactically and it is worth examining in detail the arguments that Chomsky puts forth in support of this new program, which places the emphasis on a set of factors that were…
