  This is a guide to both Noam Chomsky's work in linguistics and his politics. It deals with his theory of the structure of language, the transformational generative grammar , as well as his opposition to the Vietnam War, which he attacked through his work American Power and the New Mandarins . Salkie also examines the implications that Chomsky's work has for other fields such as philosophy and psychology and he also describes the main challenges to his position.
