ChatGPT said: This work advocates a postChomskyan linguistics that critiques universal grammar and transformational generative models. It emphasizes the role of meaning, pragmatics and functional explanation in language understanding, arguing for a more holistic, contextsensitive approach. The text challenges formal abstractions, calling for integration of semantic and usage factors. It proposes that language should be studied not as an isolated formal system, but as a communicative, social phenomenon shaped by use and context. The book critiques Chomskyan emphasis on innate structures and instead highlights the importance of language acquisition, variation, and discourse. It supports linguistics grounded in real-life communication and cognitive function.
