Published in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the MIT graduate program in linguistics, Chomsky's Linguistics chronicles some of the most important research in generative linguistics by one of the field's most influential scholars. The eleven papers contained in this volume, which also includes a new foreword by the author, cover a period of over 35 years of linguistic research. From the seminal investigation of the relationship between syntax and the lexicon in Remarks on Nominalization (1970) to the recent theory of syntactic derivation outlined in On Phases (2006), the topics covered by these papers provide insight into some of the most long-standing questions in linguistic theory. The works presented in this volume have inspired generations of research and form the foundation of much work in linguistics today.
