On Language features some of Noam Chomsky's most informal and highly accessible work. In Part I, Language and Responsibility , Chomsky presents a fascinating self-portrait of his political, moral, and linguistic thinking. In Part II, Reflections on Language , Chomsky explores the more general implications of the study of language and offers incisive analyses of the controversies among psychologists, philosophers, and linguists over fundamental questions of language. " Language and Responsibility is a well-organized, clearly written and comprehensive introduction to Chomsky's thought." — The New York Times Book Review " Language and Responsibility brings together in one readable volume Chomsky's positions on issues ranging from politics and philosophy of science to recent advances in linguistic theory. . . . The clarity of presentation at times approaches that of Bertrand Russell in his political and more popular philosophical essays." — Contemporary Psychology " Reflections on Language is profoundly satisfying and impressive. It is the clearest and most developed account of the case of universal grammar and of the relations between his theory of language and the innate faculties of mind responsible for language acquisition and use." —Patrick Flanagan Review: Must have for Linguists. - Absolutely for anyone interested in all aspects of language. Well structured observations on what and how we say and tell or has been said and told to us. A wonderful mind-f**k, necessary for understanding the bending and re-shaping of contextual usages, the evolution of the label placed, replaced, and misplaced on the image and how it affects the difference between hearing and listening to what is said and reading and understanding what is written. Never mind my opinion, just read it for yourself.

This is not one of those books.

Don't expect much politics though (although inevitably some of Noam's politics come through at certain points) as this collection is mostly meant for linguists. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/129844633-on-language-chomskys-classic-works-language-and-responsibility-and-reflections](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/129844633-on-language-chomskys-classic-works-language-and-responsibility-and-reflections) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
