This work traces the philosophical roots of modern linguistics to 17th-century rationalist thought, especially Descartes. It argues that language reflects innate mental structures, emphasizing creativity, universality, and the internal generation of meaning. Chomsky links his theory of transformational grammar to this tradition, positioning linguistics within a broader history of rationalist cognitive inquiry.
