Imagine that you were 37 and you published Aspects of the Theory - TopicsExpress



          

Imagine that you were 37 and you published Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. And then four years later, as you became a full professor, you published American Power and the New Mandarins, a book that author James Michener claims in Kent State: What Happened and Why, was THE inspiration for much of the student protests against the Vietnam War. Whatever one feels about Chomsky, these two books and the Chomsky Hierarchy of Grammars merit all the honorary doctorates he has received. Debate on him personally or the long-lasting value of his contributions should not obscure this in my opinion.
