The Primacy of Grammar

by Nirmalangshu Mukherji

Biolinguistics - especially the work of Noam Chomsky - suggests that the design of language may be 'perfect': language is an optimal solution to conditions of sound and meaning. What is the scope of this inquiry? Which aspect of nature does this science investigate? This book is a study of such foundational questions.
