An excellent work that offers support for the tenets of Chomskyan linguistics. The book offers clear insights into the workings of the human mind and would serve well as a text in developmental psychology as well as for related courses in linguistics. The arguments are lucid and the subject matter is both fascinating and central to a more complete understating of language and the mind.
Cognitive Linguistics in Action: From Theory to Application and Back

The book is also of use to scholars of other disciplines, such as discourse and translation studies, theology, rhetoric, speech therapy and so forth.
From Library Journal In the late 1950s, Noam Chomsky revolutionized linguistics by proposing that the infant's ability to learn language cannot be explained by simple learning principles but is dependent upon the existence of complex, innate mental structures. Jackendoff explains the current state of Chomskyan theory by organizing his book around the question "What do we need in order to be able to talk?" In order to find an answer, he reviews fascinating material from developmental psychology, neurology, and the cognitive sciences as well as linguistics.
