Noam Chomsky Biography
Avram Noam Chomsky (born December 7, 1928) is the Institute Professor
Emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Chomsky is credited with the creation of the theory of generative
grammar, considered to be one of the most significant contributions to
the field of theoretical linguistics made in the 20th century. He also
helped spark the cognitive revolution in psychology through his review
of B.F. Skinner\'s Verbal Behavior, in which he challenged the
behaviorist approach to the study of mind and language dominant in the
1950s. His naturalistic approach to the study of language has also
affected the philosophy of language and mind (see Harman, Fodor). He is
also credited with the establishment of the Chomsky–Schützenberger
hierarchy, a classification of formal languages in terms of their
generative power.
Chomsky is widely known for his political activism, and for his
criticism of the foreign policy of the United States and other
governments. Chomsky describes himself as a libertarian socialist and a
sympathizer of anarcho-syndicalism (he is a member of the IWW). He is
generally considered to be a key intellectual figure within the left
wing of United States politics. According to the Arts and Humanities
Citation Index, between 1980 and 1992 Chomsky was cited as a source
more often than any other living scholar, and the eighth most cited
scholar overall.
