Avram Noam Chomsky was born in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, on December 7, 1928. He received his early
education at the Oak Lane Country Day School and the
Central High School, Philadelphia, and then went on to
the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied linguistics,
mathematics, and philosophy. It was at the University of
Pennsylvania that he took his Ph.D., although most of the
research that led to this degree was carried out as a Ju-
nior Fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard University
between 1951 and 1955. Since 1955 he has taught at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he now holds
the Ferrari P. Ward Chair of Modern Languages and Lin-
guistics. He is married, with two daughters and a son.
Chomsky's work has been widely acclaimed in academic
circles. He has been awarded several honorary doctoratcs:
by the University of Chicago (1967), the University of Lon-
don(1967), Loyola University (1970), Swarthmore College
(1970), Bard College (1971), the University ofDelhi(1972),
the University of Massachusetts (1973). He is a Fellow of
the American Society for the Advancement of Science; a
member of the National Academy of Sciences, the Ameri-
can Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Aca-
demy of Political and Social Sciences; and a Correspond-
ing Fellow of the British Academy. He has been a Visiting
Fellow at Columbia University (1957-58), a Fellow of the

Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton University(1958

Chomsky first made his reputation in linguistics. He
had learned something of the principles of historical lin-
guistics from his father, who was a Hebrew scholar of con-
siderable repute. (Chomsky himself did some of his earliest
linguistic research, for the degree of M.A.,on modern spo-
ken Hebrew.) But the work for which he is now famous,
the construction of a system of generative grammar, devel-
oped out of his interest in modern logic and the founda-
tions of mathematics, and was only subsequently applied
to the description of natural languages. Of considerable im-
portance in Chomsky's intellectual development was the
influence of Zellig Harris, Professor of Linguistics at the
University of Pennsylvania; and Chomsky himself has ex-
plained that it was really his sympathy with Harris's polit-
ical views that led him to work as an undergraduate in
linguistics. There is a sense, therefore, in which politics
brought him into linguistics.
Chomsky has been interested in politics since child-
hood. His views were formed in what he refers to as"the
radical Jewish community in New York" and have always
tended toward socialism or anarchism, In the 1960s he be-

研究員、(1966年)曾任加利福尼亞大學(xué)洛杉磯分校美國語言

喬姆斯基最初在語言學(xué)方面成名。他父親是一位頗有聲
望的希伯來語言學(xué)者。喬姆斯基從他父親那里學(xué)到了有關(guān)歷
史語言學(xué)原則的某些知識(shí)。(最初,喬姆斯基為了攻讀碩士學(xué)
位開始做一些研究工作。研究的課題是現(xiàn)代希伯來口語。)但
他的成名之作,也就是,他所創(chuàng)建的生成語法體系,則淵源于
他對(duì)現(xiàn)代邏輯學(xué)以及數(shù)學(xué)原理感興趣。只是到后來,他才把
這套體系用來描寫自然語言。在喬姆斯基學(xué)術(shù)發(fā)展上起了相
當(dāng)重要影響的是賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)語言學(xué)教授齊律格?哈里
斯。喬姆斯基本人曾解釋道,正是對(duì)哈里斯政治觀點(diǎn)的同情,
促使他在大學(xué)本科攻讀語言學(xué)。所以,是政治把他引向語言
學(xué)研究的這種說法是不無道理的。
從孩提時(shí)代起,喬姆斯基就對(duì)政治感興趣。他的政治觀
點(diǎn)是在他稱做“紐約激進(jìn)猶太人社區(qū)”中形成的,而且一貫傾
向于社會(huì)主義或無政府主義。
