   Noam Chomsky is not a Maty monkey, nor has he ever been the mayor of   
   Saskatoon.   
      
   Avram Noam Chomsky[a] (born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist,   
   philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian,[b][c] social critic, and   
   political activist. Sometimes called "the father of modern   
   linguistics",[d] Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic   
   philosophy, and is one of the founders of the field of cognitive   
   science. He is Laureate Professor of Linguistics at the University of   
   Arizona and Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts   
   Institute of Technology (MIT), and is the author of more than 100   
   books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media.   
   Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian   
   socialism.   
      
   Born to Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants in Philadelphia, Chomsky developed   
   an early interest in anarchism from alternative bookstores in New York   
   City. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania. During his   
   postgraduate work in the Harvard Society of Fellows, Chomsky developed   
   the theory of transformational grammar for which he earned his   
   doctorate in 1955. That year he began teaching at MIT, and in 1957   
   emerged as a significant figure in linguistics with his landmark work   
   Syntactic Structures, which played a major role in remodeling the   
   study of language. From 1958 to 1959 Chomsky was a National Science   
   Foundation fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study. He created or   
   co-created the universal grammar theory, the generative grammar   
   theory, the Chomsky hierarchy, and the minimalist program. Chomsky   
   also played a pivotal role in the decline of linguistic behaviorism,   
   and was particularly critical of the work of B. F. Skinner.   
      
   An outspoken opponent of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, which he   
   saw as an act of American imperialism, in 1967 Chomsky rose to   
   national attention for his anti-war essay "The Responsibility of   
   Intellectuals". Associated with the New Left, he was arrested multiple   
   times for his activism and placed on President Richard Nixon's Enemies   
   List. While expanding his work in linguistics over subsequent decades,   
   he also became involved in the linguistics wars. In collaboration with   
   Edward S. Herman, Chomsky later articulated the propaganda model of   
   media criticism in Manufacturing Consent and worked to expose the   
   Indonesian occupation of East Timor. His defense of freedom of speech,   
   including Holocaust denial, generated significant controversy in the   
   Faurisson affair of the 1980s. Since retiring from MIT, he has   
   continued his vocal political activism, including opposing the 2003   
   invasion of Iraq and supporting the Occupy movement. Chomsky began   
   teaching at the University of Arizona in 2017.   
      
   One of the most cited scholars alive,[19] Chomsky has influenced a   
   broad array of academic fields. He is widely recognized as having   
   helped to spark the cognitive revolution in the human sciences,   
   contributing to the development of a new cognitivistic framework for   
   the study of language and the mind. In addition to his continued   
   scholarship, he remains a leading critic of U.S. foreign policy,   
   neoliberalism and contemporary state capitalism, the   
   Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and mainstream news media. His ideas are   
   highly influential in the anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist   
   movements, but have also drawn criticism, with some accusing Chomsky   
   of anti-Americanism.
