Syntactic Structures

Book • 1957
Syntactic Structures, published in 1957, is a seminal work by Noam Chomsky that transformed the field of linguistics.

It introduces the concept of transformational grammar, arguing that language is governed by deep structures transformed into surface structures.

Chomsky also proposed the innateness hypothesis, suggesting that humans are born with a universal grammar.

This book laid the foundation for generative grammar and had a profound impact on linguistics, philosophy, and psychology.
