 This is the second installment in a series.  The first part can be found here ... Did Noam Chomsky really “revolutionize linguistics”? by  winter oak by  Crow Qu’appelle I’ve got my work cut out for me today. My goal today is to convince you that Noam Chomsky has been part of the U.S. propaganda machine for the entirety of his long career. To do that, I will need to explain that his theories about linguistics are totally wrong, and have been from the beginning. Today’s episode is the second in a series. If you want to start from the beginning, please check out  Chomsky, Epstein and the CIA .  CHOMSKY’S MAIN IDEAS Most of you have probably heard that Chomsky “revolutionized” linguistics, but I doubt many of you are aware what his brilliant ideas actually are.
