I am not generally sympathetic to Chomsky's view of language as an emergent property of the architecture of the mind (I think that is true but largely trivial at best and pernicious in terms of diverting attention from the social aspects at worst), but this series of lectures presents him in a flattering light. The first one, "Past," is about his view of the history of linguistics as largely a tug-of-war between rationalist and structuralist approaches that does not get into the excesses of misrepresentation of his fuller treatment in Cartesian Linguistics; the second, "Present," is a primer of various issues in generative syntax circa 1968 that you can absolutely skip, and the third, "Future," forecasts his move from a rule-based conception of language acquisition to an "abductive" one of principles and parameters, hypotheses and testing, to which I am relatively sympathetic (as I think are the facts)--certainly language is more a matter of childlike exploration (and collective evolution, the piece he disesteems) than emanation from the wetware (the classic nativist conception) or simple conditioning, per a naive empiricism.

This is the third edition of Chomsky's outstanding collection of essays on language and mind, first published in 2006. The first six chapters, originally published in the 1960s, made a groundbreaking contribution to linguistic theory. This edition complements them with an additional chapter and a new preface, bringing Chomsky's influential approach into the twenty-first century. Chapters 1-6 present Chomsky's early work on the nature and acquisition of language as a genetically endowed, biological system (Universal Grammar), through the rules and principles of which we acquire an internalized knowledge (I-language). Over the past fifty years, this framework has sparked an explosion of inquiry into a wide range of languages, and has yielded some major theoretical questions. The final chapter revisits the key issues, reviewing the 'biolinguistic' approach that has guided Chomsky's work from its origins to the present day, and raising some novel and exciting challenges for the study of language and mind.
