Nature and language, with an essay on "The secular priesthood and the perils of democracy" - Noam Chomsky
KORTE INHOUD
In On Nature and Language Noam Chomsky develops his thinking on the relation between language, mind and brain, integrating current research in linguistics into the burgeoning field of neuroscience. The volume begins with a lucid introduction by the editors Belletti and Rizzi. This is followed by some of Chomsky's recent writings on these themes, together with a penetrating interview in which Chomsky provides a clear introduction to the Minimalist Program. The volume concludes with an essay on the role of intellectuals in society and government.
