American scientist and intellectual Noam Chomsky has passed away at the age of 95. He was hospitalized after a stroke. The news was announced by author Martin Gianello.

"Noam Chomsky is dead. Earlier this morning, I was thinking about it when I asked my readers in a post if they knew a living philosopher worthy of the title. All I could think about was him. Now I can't think of anyone else. A great man, whose memory and work must be kept alive by the European Left, with a post on Twitter, said goodbye to the iconic intellectual "Respect! For everything you have done and described", he writes in X.

Noam Chomsky has written a number of books and numerous articles covering a wide range of topics, including linguistics, philosophy and intellectual history. Comsky was a proponent of so-called 'genetic-transformational grammar', primarily with his radical linguistic book Syntax Structures of 1957.

The genetic theory of language, despite its successive developments and revisions, is characterized by some fixed assumptions as follows: the human ability to produce and understand an unimaginable number of sentences for the human mind is innate and leads us well to the hypothesis. for the existence of linguistic universals, generalized structures and constraints to which all natural languages ​​are subject, regardless of their great typological diversity.

The existence of an inherent "Universal Grammar" makes the child capable of learning his native language in a minimal period of time, despite the fragmentary nature of the information that one receives in the first years of life.

Chomsky challenged the behaviorist theory of language acquisition and promoted a formalist model of describing and analyzing language, especially at the level of syntax. The way Chomsky formalized linguistic ability adequately explains the so-called "linguistic creativity", a central property of natural languages: with a limited number of rules and a certain set of linguistic units (phonological and lexical), people are able to produce and perceive an infinite number of sentences, including sentences that have never been produced before.

Chomsky points out that children are not born "tabula rasa" (blank paper), but are genetically predisposed to be able to structure language acquisition.
