The Linguist’s Calendar: September 11

September 11

1956: This is the second day of a symposium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, organized by the Special Interest Group in Information Theory, and it is the event that Miller (2003:142) has referred to as the start of the “Cognitive Revolution." One of the participants is a certain N. Chomsky, who delivers the outline of his coming debut Syntactic Structures.
