内容简介

this is the long-awaited third edition of chomsky' s outstanding collection of essays on
　　language and mind. the first six chapters, originally published in the 1960s, made a groundbreaking contribution to linguistic theory. this new edition complements them with an additional chapter and a new preface, bringing chomsky' s influential approach into the twenty-first century.
　　chapters 1-6 present chomsky's early work on the nature and acquisition of language as a genetically-endowed, biological system （universal grammar）, the rules and principles of which we acquire as internalized knowledge （i-language）. over the past fifty years, this framework has sparked an explosion of inquiry into a wide range of languages, and has yielded some major theoretical questions. the final chapter revisits the key issues, reviewing the "biolinguistic" approach that has guided chomsky' s work from its origins to the present day, and raising some novel and exciting challenges for the study of language and mind.
