Example:
The man in the picture is Noam Chomsky, He is a very well
known and widely respected Language Scientist. He is american and all his life,
he has done research in the areas of Grammar and Language Development among
others.
At the core of his theory there is the thought that the
structures of language are not mere ordering of words in that there are principles
underlying the structrure of languge biologically determined in the mind and he
thinks they are, therefore, genetically transmitted, in other words, since we
come to life as humans, we come with the capability for language development.
He changed my perspectives of why people learn a language,
of how people learn it and how can that proces be reproduced in further stages
of life such as "learning" a laguange as an adult or as he says,
"acquiring" a foreign language in later stages and contexts of a
lifetime.
He is considered the Father of Modern Linguistics and because
of his extensive research, many new methodologies to language study, and also
many new areas have opened up, an example is the applications of his language
theory into Neuroscience and IT, and even today he keeps on opening up new ares
of thought mixing his theories with Discourse and particularly Public Discourse
Critical Analysis, and needless say, he is a must-study for every linguistics
or language-related-area-student.

ReplyDeleteI did not know anything about he, so far
ReplyDeleteI read Chomsky's essays on anarchism and politics. He is, in addition to a great linguist, a great political analyst
ReplyDeleteHis work is really interesting, I never hear of it before.
ReplyDeleteMy language teacher always talked about him! I think that she admires Chomsky a lot too.
ReplyDeleteIs the Father of Modern Linguistics, but I must admit that I had never heard about him and his studies; but it sounds interesting the application og linguistics in the neuroscience.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me to an old legend about that at some point we all know all the languages and when we learn a new one, we are remembering the own language
ReplyDeleteI love language, I think i would read some of his studies.
