Pova?uje sa za otca modernej jazykovedy a za veducu osobnos?

Chomsky je znamy aj ako povodca konceptu
generativnej gramatiky
a ako zakladate?
generativizmu
. Pod vplyvom
marxistickej
filozofie
odmietol prirodzene charakteristiky re?i a
jazyka
ako povrchne a vyhlasil, ?e re? a jazyk sa ur?uju hlbinnymi ?trukturami, znamymi ako univerzalna gramatika. Tieto my?lienky zhrnul vo svojom diele
Syntactic Structures
(
slov.
Syntakticke ?truktury
) vydanom v roku
1957
, ?o neskor vyustilo do konceptu
transforma?nej gramatiky
. Je aj povodcom
Chomskeho hierarchie
, ktora je klasifikaciou tried
formalnych jazykov
a patri?nych tried
gramatik
pod?a ich generativnej sily. Preto ho pova?uju za priekopnika teorie formalnych jazykov, ktora ma nezastupite?ne miesto v
teoretickych
zakladoch
informatiky
.
V oblastiach
psychologie
a jazykovedy Chomsky tvrdo kritizoval
behavioristicke
tendencie, ?im prispel k tzv. kognitivnej revolucii a vyrazne ovplyvnil
filozofiu jazyka

Spojenych ?tatov
,
anarchosyndikalista
a
libertariansky socialista
, pri?om sa v ich obhajobe opiera o idey obdobia
osvietenstva
. Chomsky tie? aktivne kritizuje
kapitalisticke
zriadenie a venuje sa analyze
masmedii
a
propagandy
.
