Avram Noam Chomsky

Theoretical Linguist

He proposed “the theory of generative grammar” and marked the beginning of a major revolution in linguistics, which provided an ambitious program to explain the structure of the human mind. He has encouraged the formation of cognitive science by giving it a basis in his theory.

＊This field then was Field of Cognitive Science (in the wide sense).
