NOT A BOOK BY CHOMSKY...just so you know,
By henry krinkle "tough nut" (middle of nowhere,usa) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ideology and Linguistic Theory: Noam Chomsky and the Deep Structure Debates (History of Linguistic Thought) (Paperback)
It's actually about the debate between other linguists regarding his take on deep structure and "rival" linguistic theories in general. if you're into his research and lectures (or advanced language study in general) this has some good insights. Just don't expect an actual Chomsky book.
And to the 8 oh-so-"intellectual" people that were deeply wounded enough to lash out in hissy rage at this review as "not helpful" (or the one that voted 8 times and has no life), get over yourselves(/self); this review is to keep people anyone looking for additions to their Chomsky linguistics collection from accidentally buying what is a tangential contribution at best. Saving people money is pretty helpful, kids.
