What Thomas Kuhn Really Thought about Scientific "Truth"
In 1991, when I was a staff writer for Scientific American , I wrote a letter to Thomas Kuhn, then at MIT. I said I wanted to profile him for Scientific American and “tell readers how you developed your views of the process of science.” When he didn’t respond, I called. Kuhn was reluctant to do the interview. He distrusted journalists, and he was still peeved by an old Scientific American ...

Noam Chomsky: Plutonomy and the Precariat
The Occupy movement has been an extremely exciting development. If the bonds and associations it has established can be sustained through a long, dark period ahead -- because victory won't come quickly -- it could prove a significant moment in American history.

Greg Ruggiero: Occupying With Noam Chomsky
"Occupy," says Noam Chomsky in his new book, "is the first major public response to thirty years of class war." One of the movement's greatest successes has been simply to put the inequalities of everyday life on the national agenda, influencing reporting, public perception and language itself.

Sprachliche Effizienz durch Ambiguität [Topthema]
Mehrdeutigkeiten verwirren: Sehen wir auf dem Bild links eine Ente oder ein Kaninchen? Auch in der Sprache scheinen Mehrdeutigkeiten und Mehrfach-Bedeutungen auf den ersten Blick eher störend: "Sitz" kann ein Stuhl sein, ein Ort (Wohnsitz), oder die Passform ... und was passt nun? Scheint fast so, als ob solche Ambiguitäten - die in allen Sprachen vorkommen - darauf hindeuten, dass Sprache gar ...

Cognitive scientists develop new take on old problem: why human language has so many words with multiple meanings
Why did language evolve? While the answer might seem obvious -- as a way for individuals to exchange information -- linguists and other students of communication have debated this question for years. Many prominent linguists, including MITs Noam Chomsky, have argued that language is, in fact, poorly designed for communication. Such a use, they say, is merely a byproduct of a system that probab...

Why does auto-correct still stink?
."I find it extremely annoying," says Noam Chomsky, MIT professor and world-renowned linguist, about having his typed words automatically corrected. The most-often incorrectly corrected phrase? "When I use Orwell's term 'unpeople,'" he says, "it is changed to unpeopled." Most of us are probably using less erudite diction when we experience a problem, but the aggravation is still common, and App...
