Chomsky's Universal Grammar Résumé

Chomsky's Universal Grammar: An Introduction Vivian J. Cook (University of Newcastle upon Tyne)

The 3rd edition of Chomsky's Universal Grammar introduces the reader to Noam Chomsky's theory of language by setting the specifics of syntactic analysis in the framework of his general ideas.

  • Updated and revised to include a broader range of issues and discussion topics
  • Traces the development of Chomsky's thinking and of the Minimalist Program since 1995, providing a new picture of this current model of syntactic theory
  • Introduces both the general concepts of the theory of Universal Grammar and the main areas of syntax such as X-bar theory, movement and government/binding theory
  • Includes discussion topics, exercises, and suggestions for further readings in each chapter

Chomsky's Universal Grammar Avis

Linguist, philosopher and political activist, Noam Chomsky, has spent six decades developing his theory of Universal Grammar, a concept now central to contemporary linguistics. The authors provide a cogent, accessible introduction that situates the still-evolving concept in the broader framework of Chomsky's work. Times Higher Education Supplement

Cook and Newson's book is a theoretically sound and didactically well-designed overview and analysis. It will be an excellent textbook for any course on the sources and concerns of current syntactic developments, especially because it does not shy away from discussing problematic points and alternative solutions.
Istvan Kenesei, University of Szeged

The book is a masterly introduction to a complex body of work. The new edition has been thoroughly rewritten to bring it up to date with recent developments. For a clear and reliable guide to Chomsky's linguistics, and its relevance to first and second language acquisition, students need look no further.
Raphael M. Salkie, University of Brighton
