‘Read this first, then read Chomsky.’
John Searle, New York Review of Books

‘John Lyons’ book on Chomsky is simply the best short introduction in the English language. It is within the grasp of an intelligent layman. Anyone who reads it will understand the elements of tranformational grammar, and be able to follow current controversies.’
Leonard Jackson, Times Educational Supplement

‘Lyons’ account is itself a minor modern masterpiece of compression and clarity.’
Alan Ryan, New Society
