For Friday, 9/24, your reading assignment will be pgs. 26-44 (sections 1-5) and pgs. 54-58 (section 11) of the following article, which can be downloaded from the class website

Chomsky, Noam. 1959. Review of Verbal Behavior. Language 35: 26-58.

(Note that pgs. 26-44 of the article were originally assigned for tomorrow.  Even though our discussion of that material is now scheduled for Friday, I still suggest that you get a head start on it:  this is probably the toughest reading assignment of the semester, and parts of it may require re-reading.  Our task in Friday’s class will be to derive an overall picture of Chomsky’s goals in the article, and to clarify some of its more difficult sections.)
