This book contains lectures and interviews by the well-known American linguist and public figure Noam Chomsky, in which he presents his views on the connection between the science of language and biological sciences, on the relationship between language, thought, and the brain. The book discusses an approach based on the idea that universal grammar is a system of principles and parameters, providing a potential solution to the logical problem of language acquisition. The author also talks about the economical structure of language and describes the tenets of the Minimalist Program. The final chapter reflects the socio-political aspect of the author's work - an essay dedicated to criticizing the role of the intellectual elite of Western countries in justifying the foreign policies of these states or downplaying their negative consequences.
The book is recommended for philologists, psychologists, political scientists, as well as anyone interested in language issues in the context of its connections with biological sciences and the problems of political trends in the modern world.
