Review of the book: Os fundamentos de teoria Linguística de Chomsky, by Maximiliano Guimarães

Abstract

The publisher Vozes is about to print Os fundamentos da teoria linguística de Chomsky, a book written by Maximiliano Guimarães, professor and researcher at the Universidade Federal do Paraná. Those from the metier know that the choice could not have been more correct. Besides being a committed practitioner (because, unfortunately, an issue that should be strictly scientific is also political) of Transformational Generative Grammar (hereafter TGG), Maximiliano Guimarães is a profound expert in its main exponent, Noam Chomsky, without ceasing to know the work of his collaborators and opponents, as the pages of the book reveal. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2017.v13n2a14045
