Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Second Impression. 1965. Second printing. x, 251pp. Avram Noam Chomsky (born 1928) is an American professor and intellectual, best known for his work in linguistics and social criticism. In Aspects of the Theory of Syntax, he presents a deeper, more extensive refo…rmulation of transformational generative grammar, a new kind of syntactic theory that he had introduced in the 1950s with the publication of his first book, Syntactic Structures. The work is widely considered to be the foundational document and a proper articulation of Chomskyan theoretical framework of linguistics. The book is bound in the original dark blue cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping to the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with light soiling and light bumping to the spine ends and top corners. The front panel of the wrapper is green and the spine is blue, but we are uncertain if this is as printed or the result of fading. A small piece is missing from the top front spine corner and there are a few unrepaired tears of up to about 1/2" on the top edge.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Association copy. First edition, first printing in supplied first issue dust jacket, unclipped with small tear in top of front panel, slightly edge-worn and spine-sunned, Very Good overall. x, 251 pp. Original navy cloth with gilt spine lettering.…A few small stains in text. Pioneering Dutch linguist P.A. Verburg's copy with his stamp on front endpaper; his marginal notes, underlines, and small diagrams are throughout text in pen and pencil. Verburg (1905-1989) examined the history of linguistics in 1952 with his Taal En Functionaliteit, translated most recently in English in 1998 as Language and Its Functions. Chomsky's work along similar lines with Aspects and the following year's Cartesian Linguistics would garner much more attention worldwide, influencing the fields of linguistics and philosophy for decades. Verburg's marginal impressions in this copy should provide insight of an important, if oft-neglected predecessor's impressions of Chomsky's breakthrough work.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Octavo, original blue cloth, original unclipped dustwrapper, previous owner signature, some minor wear and chips on the corners and the back cover. FIRST EDITION of Chomsky's elusive first book, "the first concerted approach to investigating the huma…n mind through a systematic study of how people produce and understand sentences equated with Darwin's theory of evolution and Freud's theory of the unconscious in terms of its importance in the history of ideas"a nice copy in the original unclipped ($7.50) dust jacket. Noam Chomsky is "the father of modern linguistics and remains the field's most influential practitioner Mr. Chomsky's introduction of his theory of language in 1957 [in his monograph "Syntactic Structures," which he developed into the present book, his first], often called the Chomsky revolution, has been equated with Darwin's theory of evolution and Freud's theory of the unconscious in terms of its importance in the history of ideas: it was the first concerted approach to investigating the human mind through a systematic study of how people produce and understand sentences Mr. Chomsky was by nature a questionerand, where he deemed necessary, an exploderof received truths. Over the years, this trait became evident in his political work, including his early opposition to the Vietnam War, his outspoken condemnation of United States policy in Central America, East Timor and elsewhere, and his castigation of the mainstream news media for what he describes as complicity with governmental and business interests Language, Mr. Chomsky came to believe, was rooted not in behavior but in biology, in an inborn set of principles that speakers unconsciously draw on whenever they produce or understand sentences. The goal of linguistics, he argued, should be to reproduce these principles. Since one couldn't go mucking around in people's brains, the linguist would attempt instead to mirror the workings of these inborn principles with a set of abstract, quasi-mathematical rules intended to generate the range of possible sentences in a given languagein other words, a generative grammar" (New York Times, Dec. 5, 1998).
