NOAM CHOMSKY
Father of Linguistics:
Avram Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher,
cognitive scientist, historian, social critic, and political
activist. Sometimes called "the father of modern
linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic
philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive
science.
Noam Chomsky is known as the father
of modern linguistics. Back in 1957,
Chomsky, with his revolutionary book
“Syntactic Structures,” laid the
foundation of his non-empiricist
theory of language. Two years later,
with his review of B. F. Skinner’s
“Verbal Behaviour,” he argued that
Behaviourism, the dominant approach
to language at the time, was no longer
to be the way of studying language.
