I know you're joking, but just to clarify for others: Nothing about Chomsky's work is postmodern. On the contrary, Chomsky is a well-known and fierce critic of postmodernism, both in his political work and in linguistics. He's been openly criticizing "postmodern" thinkers and authors for decades. See for instance [1]. Moreover, his approach in linguistics has frequently been criticized as being too "scientistic" because he re-oriented linguistics towards the natural sciences. After all, he's the one who brought formal, recursive grammar formalisms and grammar hierarchies to the field. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=772WncdxCSw&t=1s |
