Noam Chomsky, one of the century's leading linguists, has made major contributions to the systematic study of language. From the late 1950s to the present day, his work has generated much discussion among philosophers concerned with language and the workings of the human mind. These original philosophical essays, were presented to Chomsky to honour him on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The range of topics discussed in the volume are designed to reflect the breadth of Chomsky's thought, including the social versus ideolectal conceptions of language, the factuality of linguistics, the psychological reality of grammar, the nature of semantic theory, the proper object of linguistic inquiry, logical form, the modular organization of mind, tacit knowledge and the relevance to linguistics of Wittgenstein's remarks on rules.
