The two most popular titles by the noted linguist and critic in one volumean ideal introduction to his work.On Language features some of Noam Chomskys most informal and highly accessible work. In Part I, Language and Responsibility, Chomsky presents a fascinating selfportrait of his political, moral, and linguistic thinking. In Part II, Reflections on Language, Chomsky explores the more general implications of the study of language and offers incisive analyses of the controversies among psychologists, philosophers, and linguists over fundamental questions of language.Language and Responsibility is a wellorganized, clearly written and comprehensive introduction to Chomskys thought. The New York Times Book ReviewLanguage and Responsibility brings together in one readable volume Chomskys positions on issues ranging from politics and philosophy of science to recent advances in linguistic theory. . . . The clarity of presentation at times approaches that of Bertrand Russell in his political and more popular philosophical essays. Contemporary PsychologyReflections on Language is profoundly satisfying and impressive. It is the clearest and most developed account of the case of universal grammar and of the relations between his theory of language and the innate faculties of mind responsible for language acquisition and use.
