According to Chomsky, to learn a language is to develop a grammar for it - a generative grammar which assigns a definite structure and a definite meaning to each of a definite set of sentences. This forms the speaker's linguistic competence , which represents a distinct faculty of the mind, called the faculty of language . This view has been widely criticised, and Professor Matthews here concludes that Chomsky's notion of competence finds no support within linguistics. This book covers a variety of topics, from morphology to speech acts, from word meaning to the study of language variation, and from blending in syntax to the relation of language and culture. This wide range of subject matter is incisively handled in a style which is both elegant and economical.
