Noam Chomsky is one of the leading intellectual figures of modern times.He has had a major influence on linguistics，psychology and philosophy，and a significant effect on a range of other disciplines from anthropology to mathematics，education to literary criticism.In this rigorous yet accessible account of Chomsky's work and influence，Neil Smith analyses Chomsky's key contributions to the study of language and the study of mind.He gives a detailed and partly historical exposition of Chomsky's linguistic theorizing，and examines the ideas for which he is best known.Smith discusses the psychological and philosophical implications of Chomsky's work，and argues that he has fundamentally changed the way we think of ourselves，gaining a position in the history of ideas on a par with that of Darwin of Descartes.Finally，he examines Chomsky's political ideas and how these fit intellectually with his scholarly work.Smith argues that，despite Chomsky's own disavowal of any very close connection，there are fundamental ideas of rationality，creativity and modularity that draw together the disparate strands of his vast output.Throughout，Smith explores the coutroversy surrounding Chomsky's work，and explains why he has been both adulated and vilified.This much needed book will be welcomedby a wide range of readers：students and researchers in linguistics，philosophy，psychology，cognitive science and politics，and anyone with an interest in the impact of Chomsky's work.

Since its first publication in 1976，Cohesion in English has established itself as a standard textbook.It is concerned with a relatively neglected part of the linguistic system：its resources for text comstruction，the range of meanings that are specifically associated with relating what is being said or written to its semantic environment，A principal component of these resources iscohesion.This book studies the cohesion that arises from semantic relations between sentences.Reference from one to the other，repetition of word meanings，the conjunctive force of but，so，then and the like are considered.Further，it describes a method for analysing and coding sentences，which is applied to specimen texts.
