On Language: Chomsky's Classic Works Language and Responsibility and Reflections on Language in One Volume

Rating:
Summary: Introducing Chomsky
Review: If you've been tempted by those laudable but reductive comic books called "Introducing Chomsky" or "Chomsky for Beginners," try this book instead--it's one of the rare books where Chomsky addresses politics and linguistics. His critiques of US power and corporate domination are spelled out with clarity alongside his views of "the language instinct" (to quote the title of Steven Pinker's wonderful book) in the interviews that constitute "Language and Responsibility."
