SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Noam Chomsky's theory is known as "The Minimalist Program" and has been presented as his crowning achievement. Seuren points to the original acrimonious split in the 1960s and 1970s between Chomsky's generative grammar and the alternative generative semantics proposed by his followers, and argues that the latter theory was sounder.
