Noam Chomsky is a prominent linguist known for his work in generative grammar and cognitive science. Some of his most influential works include Syntactic Structures (1957), Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965), and The Minimalist Program (1995). He introduced concepts like universal grammar, generative grammar, and the Chomsky hierarchy that were seminal in the development of modern linguistics. The document also provides summaries and diagrams of some of his key theories like transformational grammar and the distinction between deep and surface structure.
