  • A Naturalist Reconstruction of Minimalist and Evolutionary Biolinguistics
    A Naturalist Reconstruction of Minimalist and Evolutionary Biolinguistics Hiroki Narita & Koji Fujita Kinsella & Marcus (2009; K&M) argue that considerations of biological evo- lution invalidate the picture of optimal language design put forward under the rubric of the minimalist program (Chomsky 1993 et seq.), but in this article it will be pointed out that K&M’s objection is undermined by (i) their misunderstanding of minimalism as imposing an aprioristic presumption of optimality and (ii) their failure to discuss the third factor of language design. It is proposed that the essence of K&M’s suggestion be reconstructed as the sound warning that one should refrain from any preconceptions about the object of inquiry, to which K&M commit themselves based on their biased view of evolution. A different reflection will be cast on the current minima- list literature, arguably along the lines K&M envisaged but never completed, converging on a recommendation of methodological (and, in a somewhat unconventional sense, metaphysical) naturalism. Keywords: evolutionary/biological adequacy; language evolution; metho- dological/metaphysical naturalism; minimalist program; third factor of language design 1. Introduction A normal human infant can learn any natural language(s) he or she is exposed to, whereas none of their pets (kittens, dogs, etc.) can, even given exactly the same data from the surrounding speech community. There must be something special, then, to the genetic endowment of human beings that is responsible for the emer- gence of this remarkable linguistic capacity. Human language is thus a biological object that somehow managed to come into existence in the evolution of the hu- man species.

  • The Role of Affect in Language Development∗
    The Role of Affect in Language Development∗ Stuart G. SHANKER and Stanley I. GREENSPAN BIBLID [0495-4548 (2005) 20: 54; pp. 329-343] ABSTRACT: This paper presents the Functional/Emotional approach to language development, which explains the process leading up to the core capacities necessary for language (e.g., pattern-recognition, joint attention); shows how this process leads to the formation of internal symbols; and how it shapes and is shaped by the child’s development of language. The heart of this approach is that, through a series of affective transfor- mations, a child develops these core capacities and the capacity to form meaningful symbols. Far from be- ing a sudden jump, the transition from pre-symbolic communication to language is enabled by the advances taking place in the child’s affective gesturing. Key words: Functional/Emotional hypothesis; affective transformations; usage-based linguistics; pattern-recognition; joint attention; learning-based interactions; nativism; autism 1. The F/E View of Language Development Chomsky began Cartesian Linguistics with the following quotation from Whitehead’s Science and the Modern World: A brief, and sufficiently accurate, description of the intellectual life of the European races during the succeeding two centuries and a quarter up to our own times is that they have been living upon the accumulated capital of ideas provided for them by the genius of the seventeenth cen- tury (Chomsky 1967). Chomsky was certainly right: both in regards to the accuracy of Whitehead’s ob- servation, and in regards to the significance of this outlook for Chomsky’s whole ap- proach to language acquisition.

  • New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind Noam Chomsky Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521651476 - New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind Noam Chomsky Frontmatter More information New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind This book is an outstanding contribution to the philosophical study of language and mind, by one of the most influential thinkers of our time. In a series of penetrating essays, Noam Chomsky cuts through the confusion and prejudice which has infected the study of language and mind, bringing new solutions to traditional philosophical puzzles and fresh perspectives on issues of general interest, ranging from the mind–body problem to the unification of science. Using a range of imaginative and deceptively simple linguistic ana- lyses, Chomsky argues that there is no coherent notion of “language” external to the human mind, and that the study of language should take as its focus the mental construct which constitutes our knowledge of language. Human language is therefore a psychological, ultimately a “biological object,” and should be analysed using the methodology of the natural sciences. His examples and analyses come together in this book to give a unique and compelling perspective on language and the mind. is Institute Professor at the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Chomsky has written and lectured extensively on a wide range of topics, including linguistics, philosophy, and intellectual history. His main works on linguistics include: Syntactic Structures; Current Issues in Linguistic Theory; Aspects of the Theory of Syntax; Cartesian Linguistics; Sound Pattern of English (with Morris Halle); Language and Mind; Reflections on Language; The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory; Lec- tures on Government and Binding; Modular Approaches to the Study of the Mind; Knowledge of Language: its Nature, Origins and Use; Language and Problems of Knowledge; Generative Grammar: its Basis, Development and Prospects; Language in a Psychological Setting; Language and Prob- lems of Knowledge; and The Minimalist Program.

  • CHOMSKY, Noam Avram (1928- ) Forthcoming in the Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers, 1860-1960 Ed., Ernest Lepore, Thoemmes Press, 2004
    CHOMSKY, Noam Avram (1928- ) Forthcoming in the Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers, 1860-1960 ed., Ernest LePore, Thoemmes Press, 2004. Noam Chomsky was born to Dr. William (Zev) Chomsky and Elsie Simonofsky in Philadelphia on December 7, 1928. His father emigrated to the United States from Russia. William was an eminent scholar, author of the study Hebrew, the Eternal Language (1957), as well as numerous other works on the history and teaching of Hebrew. Noam entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1945. There he came in contact with Zelig Harris, a prominent linguist and the founder of the first linguistics department in the United States (at the University of Pennsylvania). In 1947 Chomsky decided to major in linguistics, and in 1949 he began his graduate studies in that field. His BA honor’s thesis Morphophonemics of Modern Hebrew (1949, revised as an MA thesis in 1951) contains several ideas that foreshadow Chomsky’s later work in generative grammar. In 1949 he married the linguist Carol Schatz. During the years 1951 to 1955 Chomsky was a Junior Fellow of the Harvard University Society of Fellows, where he completed his PhD dissertation entitled Transformational Analysis (1955; published as part of The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory in 1975). Chomsky received a faculty position at MIT in 1955 and he has been teaching there ever since. In 1961 he was appointed full professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics; the graduate program in linguistics began the same year. In 1966 he was appointed Ferrari Ward Professor of Linguistics. In 1976, the linguistics and philosophy programs at MIT were merged and the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy was created; this has been Chomsky’s home department ever since.

  • Descartes' Influence on Chomsky's Theory and His Analysis of Language
    Opción, Año 35, Especial No.19 (2019): 2621-2631 ISSN 1012-1587/ISSNe: 2477-9385 Descartes' influence on Chomsky's theory and his analysis of language Phd .huda salaah Rashid Republic of Iraq / University of Tikrit Abstrac The world thinker, Noam Chomsky, is one of the most prominent thinkers in the field of language, politics and culture in general, for his knowledge of these fields. His ideas have revolutionized, especially in the field of langua- ge and the modern outlook on linguistic sciences. These ideas formed an important turning point in this cognitive field which has been demonstrated by the inability of the experimental behavioral model to explain the language. Chomsky's revolution on behaviorists is an independent stage in the history of linguistics. It is a critical view that can only be understood if we address the rational origins from which Chomsky drew his ideas and draw the limits of his theory. Chomsky's innovation was an extension of the Cartesian rational heritage, which was the most important pillar of his theory of obstetrics. Descartes' philosophy was therefore clearly influenced by Chomsky's thought. To this end, our research dealt with the study of the influence of Descartes on Chomsky's theory and its analysis of language, according to an epistemo- logy in which the mind is fully present in which we tried to answer the following question: How did Descartes put forward Chomsky's analysis and analysis of the work of language and reason? As well as the analysis of language instinct under that comprehensive view. 2622 huda salaah Rashid Opción, Año 35, Especial No.19 (2019): 2621-2631 La influencia de Descartes en la teoría de Chomsky y su aná- lisis del lenguaje.

  • PRE-Pre-Cartesian Linguistics
    429 PRE-Pre-Cartesian Linguistics Peter H. Salus University of Massachusetts Criticism of Cartesian Linguistics (Chomsky 1966) began soon after its publication; this criticism was spear- headed by Robin Lakoff and Keith Percival. Lakoff's paper at the 1966 LSA meeting in New York and her long review of the Port Royal Grammar attack Chomsky's views on both factual and theof-etical grounds. Percival's paper at the Fourth CLS meeting dealt with Vaugelas, an important precursor of the work of Lancelot and Arnauld. By now the notion of Cartesian linguistics as presen- ted by Chomsky in 1966 and repeated in Language and Mind (1968) has been destroyed. And though I am not interested in criticizing Chomsky at this time, let me cite a few sentences from Language and Mind which may be relevant. This rationalist philosophy of language [the Cartesian] merged with various other in- dependent developments in the seventeenth century, leading to the first really signifi- cant general theory of linguistic structure, namely the general point of view that came to be known as "philosophical" or "universal" grammar. (12) ... it is interesting that although the Port Royal Grammar is apparently the first to rely in a fairly systematic way on analysis into surface structure, it also recognized the in- adequacy of such analysis. (14) I think there have been two really pro- ductive traditions of research that have un- questionable relevance to anyone concerned with the study of language today. One is the tra- dition of philosophical grammar that florished from the seventeenth century through romanti- cism; the second is the tradition [called] "structuralist" ..

  • Cartesian Linguistics Noam Chomsky Pdf
    Cartesian linguistics noam chomsky pdf Continue First edition (publ. Harper s Row) The term Cartesian linguistics was coined with the publication of Cartesian linguistics: A Chapter in the History of Rationalistic Thought (1966), a book on the linguistics of Noam Khomsky. The word Cartes is an adjective referring to Rene Descartes, a famous 17th century philosopher. However, instead of limiting himself to The Works of Descartes, Chomsky examines other authors interested in rationalist thought. Specifically, Chomsky discusses Port Royal Grammar (1660), a book that foreshadows some of his own ideas concerning universal grammar. Chomsky traces the development of linguistic theory from Descartes to Wilhelm von Humboldt, that is, from the Enlightenment directly to Romanticism. The central doctrine of Cartesian linguistics states that the common features of the grammatical structure are common to all languages and reflect certain fundamental properties of the mind. The book was written to deepen our understanding of the nature of language and the mental processes and structures that underlie its use and acquisition. Chomsky wanted to shed light on these fundamental structures of human language, and then on whether it is possible to draw a conclusion about the nature of the organism from its language. Homsky's book received mostly unfavorable reviews. Critics argued that Cartesian linguistics fails both as a methodological conception and as a historical phenomenon. Topics covered by Cartesian linguistics Man vs. brute Some mechanical factors of language function, such as the reaction to stimuli, appear in both humans and animals; however, Chomsky refers to several 17th-century Cartesian experiments that show that the creative aspect of language is specific only to humans.

BREKLE INTRODUCTION In accordance with the intentions of the Editorial Board this chapter is not meant to be a full-scale history of the linguistic achievements of the seventeenth century; it is rather a critical report on some aspects of research that has been carried out in this field during the last few decades pertaining to grammar and the theory of language. At some places the available material is supplemented by readings and interpret• ations that occurred to the present writer as he looked through various sources. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that this article is — at least in principle — restricted to an evaluation of works and contributions dealing with questions of general linguistics and some adjacent areas, like, e.g., language philosophy and semiotics. Consequently, no attempt is made to discuss the endless number of grammars and grammatical treatises dealing with some particular language or special aspects of one or another language.1 Furthermore, it is not the intention of this article to determine with reasonable accuracy the various influences of earlier writers on grammatical doctrines devel• oped during the seventeenth century; at certain points, however, where reliable work on special influences on certain grammarians is available, such results will be included in our survey.

  • The Unmaking of a Modern Synthesis: Noam Chomsky, Charles Hockett, and the Politics of Behaviorism, 1955–1965
    The Unmaking of a Modern Synthesis: Noam Chomsky, Charles Hockett, and the Politics of Behaviorism, 1955–1965 Gregory Radick, University of Leeds Abstract: A familiar story about mid-twentieth-century American psychology tells of the abandonment of behaviorism for cognitive science. Between these two, however, lay a scientific borderland, muddy and much traveled. This essay relocates the origins of the Chomskyan program in linguistics there. Follow- ing his introduction of transformational generative grammar, Noam Chomsky (b. 1928) mounted a highly publicized attack on behaviorist psychology. Yet when he first developed that approach to grammar, he was a defender of be- haviorism. His antibehaviorism emerged only in the course of what became a systematic repudiation of the work of the Cornell linguist C. F. Hockett (1916– 2000). In the name of the positivist Unity of Science movement, Hockett had synthesized an approach to grammar based on statistical communication the- ory; a behaviorist view of language acquisition in children as a process of as- sociation and analogy; and an interest in uncovering the Darwinian origins of language. In criticizing Hockett on grammar, Chomsky came to engage gradu- ally and critically with the whole Hockettian synthesis. Situating Chomsky thus within his own disciplinary matrix suggests lessons for students of disciplinary politics generally and—famously with Chomsky—the place of political discipline within a scientific life. WHY ANTIBEHAVIORISM? WHY CHOMSKY’S? Anyone inclined to organize the history of science around “revolutions” has long had to hand a tidy scheme for dividing up American psychology in the twentieth century. Before World War II there was the behaviorist revolution.
