Challenging Chomskyan linguistics, Ian Robinson highlights the limitations of Chomsky's contributions to traditional syntax, arguing that his narrow views on language and unnecessary psychological constructs undermine broader linguistic claims. Robinson asserts that the ambition to align linguistics with natural sciences is fundamentally flawed. He presents his arguments in an accessible manner, engaging not only linguists but also philosophers and general readers, emphasizing that the true evaluation of language discussions comes from the common reader's perspective.
