Noam Chomsky
Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher, and political activist renowned for revolutionizing linguistics with theories on universal grammar and innate language capacity, as detailed in works like Syntactic Structures (1957) and Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965).[1][2][3] He challenged behaviorist views, initiating the cognitive revolution in language studies, and became a prominent critic of U.S. foreign policy and media.[1][4][5] Chomsky taught at MIT for decades, retiring as professor emeritus around 2002-2005, while authoring extensively on linguistics, politics, and philosophy.[2][5]
