Date: 22-Apr-2007 From: Robert Berwick <berwickcsail.mit.edu> Subject: PDF Version of Chomsky's Original 1955-56 Thesis We have retrieved from microfilm the marked-up 1955-1956 copy of Chomsky's thesis draft, the one he was preparing for publication as ''The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory.'' With Chomsky's permission, we have made a new microfilm copy, since the old one had nearly decayed, and then scanned each page into a pdf file. We are making that entire file freely downloadable, with Chomsky's consent. The full document contains chapters that were left out of the LSLT published version, e.g., an information-theoretic method to construct linguistic categories, that Chomsky developed in conjunction with Peter Elias. While it's a large file - 436MB and 919 pages -it's still manageable to download.
