Noam Chomsky - biography, date of birth, place of birth, filmography, clips, Actor.
Born December 7, 1928, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - American actor, linguist, political publicist, philosopher and theorist.
Since 1945, Noam Chomsky has studied philosophy and linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. One of his teachers was a professor of linguistics Zellig Harris. It was he who advised Chomsky to draw up a systematic structure of any language. Harris's political views also had a strong influence on Chomsky.
Chomsky received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1955, but four years before that he had done most of his research at Harvard University. In his doctoral dissertation, he began to develop some of his linguistic ideas, which he later revealed in more detail in his 1957 book "Syntactic Structures".
In 1955, Chomsky received an offer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he began teaching linguistics in 1961.
It was at this time that he became involved in politics, since about 1964, publicly speaking out against US participation in the Vietnam War. In 1969, Chomsky published an essay book on the Vietnam War, American Power and the New Mandarins (American Power and the New Mandarins). Since that time, Chomsky has become widely known for his political views, speeches and several other books on the topic. His views, most often classified as libertarian socialism, were widely supported by the left and, at the same time, caused a flurry of criticism from all other areas of the political spectrum. Despite being involved in politics, Chomsky continues to pursue linguistics and teaching.
Noam Chomsky is a professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, author of a classification of formal languages ??called the Chomsky hierarchy. His work on generative grammars contributed significantly to the decline of behaviorism and contributed to the development of the cognitive sciences. In addition to his linguistic work, Chomsky is widely known for his radical left political views, as well as criticism of the foreign policy of the US government. Chomsky himself calls himself a libertarian socialist and supporter of anarcho-syndicalism.
According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, between 1980 and 1992, Chomsky was the most cited living scholar and the eighth most frequently cited source in general.
