“No deberíamos estar buscando héroes, deberíamos estar buscando buenas ideas”

Noam Chomsky

Avram Noam Chomsky es un lingüista, filósofo, politólogo y activista estadounidense nacido en Filadelfia en diciembre de 1928. Es profesor emérito del Instituto Tecnológico de Massachussets y una de las figuras mas destacadas de la lingüística del siglo XX, gracias a sus trabajos en teoría lingüística y ciencia cognitiva.

Sus padres eran inmigrantes judeo-ucranianos, el padre, un estudioso de la lengua hebrea y uno de sus más distinguidos gramáticos, y su madre era maestra de hebreo.  

Desde 1945 estudió filosofía, lingüística y matemáticas en la Universidad de Pensilvania. Uno de sus maestros fue el filósofo Nelson Goodman, quien lo presentaría en la Society of Fellows de Harvard.

Obtuvo su doctorado en 1955, realizando cuatro años de investigación en la Universidad de Harvard y en 1988 recibió el doctorado Honoris Causa en lingüística en multiples universidades.

Sus planteamientos lingüísticos han revolucionado muchos puntos clave del estudio del lenguaje humano, que se han plasmado en la teoría de la Gramática generativa transformacional.

Uno de los argumentos clave que se plantea Noam Chomsky a partir de la publicación de su primer libro en 1957 “Syntactic Structures”, es que los seres humanos estamos “biológicamente capacitados para el lenguaje”, esto, en contraposición total a las teorías centrales, tanto del estructuralismo, como de las de la psicología conductista desarrollada principalmente por el estadounidense B.F. Skinner que por su parte, defendía que nada de los procesos internos de la mente, ni la conciencia, ni los deseos, ni los sentimientos ni las creencias eran productos de la mente en si, sino simple y llanamente del aprendizaje conductual, en donde el lenguaje mismo era producto del condicionamiento de la conducta aprendida.

En sus estudios, Chomsky afirma que al igual que un pájaro recién nacido todavía no puede volar, biológicamente si esta capacitado para hacerlo en un momento determinado, y que ya esta programado para ello cuando sus alas se desarrollen, y que podrá hacerlo pronto y sin demasiado esfuerzo. Del mismo modo el hombre, desde que es bebé, nace ya programado para dominar el lenguaje, y que lo hará pronto y sin demasiado esfuerzo, sin importar la lengua que se trate, sea esta inglesa, española o china, y que de manera innata lo podremos hacer producto de un desarrollo biológico y no conductual.

Chomsky observa y afirma que no son muchas las frases aprendidas de modo conductual, como lo son el saludo, y que por el contrario, un niño con tan solo 3 años puede ser capaz de comunicar todo lo que quieren, sin haber aprendido todo el uso de las palabras y que tan solo un limitado contacto con el lenguaje le sirve para activar su capacidad biológica y alcanzar competencia lingüística.

Chomsky aseguraba que el fundamento común de las lenguas humanas cualquiera de las que esta se tratara, estaba basada en su recursividad, lo que permitía al ser humano introducir oraciones en otras oraciones sin límite. Según sus teorías, un niño que aprende una lengua solo necesita adquirir los elementos léxicos básicos y fijar los valores convenientes en los parámetros lo que daría a la larga, la posibilidad de obtener una “Gramática Universal, propia de todos los seres humanos, de raíz biológica, de la cual derivan las distintas lenguas de las diversas culturas que han existido en la historia y que existen aún”.

Noam Chomsky a lo largo del tiempo se ha convertido en una de las principales figuras de la política radical estadounidense, se define a él mismo como partidario de la tradición anarquista y es miembro del celebre sindicato revolucionario estadounidense IWW. Lo que a raíz de sus denuncias, varios detractores lo han tildado de antiestadounidense.

“You take my water, burn my olive trees, destroy my house, take my job, steal my land, imprison my father kill my mother bombard my country starve us all, humiliate us all, but I am to blame: I shot a rocket back

Hey! I'm a huge fan of your art and have a question that I've wanted to ask for some time. In a few of your posts you have mentioned your OC Noam-- and since this is a Hebrew name which I usually only encounter in my very Jewish environment, I wanted to ask if there is any specific reason for choosing it? (Just because this is a beautiful name that usually doesn't come up much and it got me curious)

i actually decided on the name noam because of avram noam chomsky (the jewish linguist/philosopher/historian etc.) after reading some of his writing for a class! hebrew names always sound very beautiful to me as well & i believe my given name (hester) is derived from it too 🤔

tbh there are so many lovely names from all over to choose from and im really glad i came across noam..

Chomsky & Krauss: An Origins Project Dialogue

Have you ever heard of Noam Chomsky?

Avram Noam Chomsky (born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, political activist, and social critic. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He holds a joint appointment as Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and laureate professor at the University of Arizona, and is the author of over 100 books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media. Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism.

If not, you might be surprised to hear that he is one of the most quoted scholars in history. The NY times also described him as the “top intellectual alive”.

Considering his groundbreaking theories on linguistic psychology and politics, why haven’t the majority of the American population heard of him?

The answer is simple. He goes against mainstream thought and has frequently criticized the actions of the US government and mainstream media.

As most of us consume our information through mainstream media, it’s easy to see why he isn’t as popular as he should be.

Below are some Noam Chomsky quotes:

“Debt is a trap, especially student debt, which is enormous, far larger than credit card debt. It’s a trap for the rest of your life because the laws are designed so that you can’t get out of it. If a business, say, gets in too much debt, it can declare bankruptcy, but individuals can almost never be relieved of student debt through bankruptcy.”

“The more you can increase fear of drugs, crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all of the people.”

“Globalization is the result of powerful governments, especially that of the United States, pushing trade deals and other accords down the throats of the world’s people to make it easier for corporations and the wealthy to dominate the economies of nations around the world without having obligations to the peoples of those nations.” — Profit over People: Neoliberalism and the Global Order

“It is important to bear in mind that political campaigns are designed by the same people who sell toothpaste and cars.”

“[The US still names] military helicopter gunships after victims of genocide. Nobody bats an eyelash about that: Blackhawk. Apache. And Comanche. If the Luftwaffe named its military helicopters Jew and Gypsy, I suppose people would notice.” — Propaganda and the Public Mind: Conversations with Noam Chomsky and David Barsamian

Could you imagine a world in which Chomsky is celebrated in our culture as much as kim Kardashian. 

[workingclasshistory]

On this day, 7 December 1928, Avram Noam Chomsky, legendary activist, linguist and author was born to a Jewish immigrant family in Philadelphia. Chomsky came to prominence as an activist as an outspoken critic of the Vietnam war, for which he was arrested several times and placed on President Richard Nixon's official list of enemies. He has since become one of the world's leading critics of US foreign-policy, and one of the most cited scholars alive. Politically Chomsky usually identifies with currents including libertarian socialism and anarchism, stating: "I was attracted to anarchism as a young teenager, as soon I began to think about the world beyond a pretty narrow range, and haven't seen much reason to revise those early attitudes since." And despite dark times, Chomsky believes that we have to face our challenges with optimism: “Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it’s unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume that there’s no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there’s a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours.” Yesterday, WCH was very happy to host the launch of Chomsky's new book with author James Kelman, Between Thought and Expression Lies a Lifetime: Why Ideas Matter.
