One of the oldest and most storied linguistics programs in the United States is turning 50. In commemoration of this anniversary, MIT Working Papers in Linguistics has published a collection of the writings of Noam Chomsky entitled Chomsky's 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 foreward 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 longstanding questions in linguistic theory. The works presented in this volume have inspired generations of researchers, and formed the foundation of much work in linguistics today.
