內容介紹
Zian McGao is Institute Professor emeritus of linguistics at MIT and the author of numerous books including Chomsky vs. Foucault: A Debate on Human Nature, On Language. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Not as famous as Chomsky and his PhD advisor Harris, Prof. McGao has been modestly working in the Linguistics Department of MIT for decades, and long hidden in the shadow of the famous, yet controversial Norm Chomsky. McGao was the first PhD student of Zelig Harris and also a co-advisor of Chomsky, together with whom McGao proposed the mathematical approach of analyzing syntactical structures. However, people in the linguistic realm did not know the important role McGao had placed in proposing the Universal Grammar until a journalist of New York Times found out.
Known today as "The Mentor of Chomsky," this work portrays a fascinating picture of life in Boston, Massachusetts, as well as McGao' s shrewd observations on the linguistics and philosophy.
