Foundations of Language - Jackendoff, Ray (Professor of Linguistics, Program in Linguistics and Cognitive Science, Brandeis University)

Proposes a holistic theory of the relation between the sounds, structure, and meaning of language and their relation to mind and brain. This work aims to offer fundamental thinking in linguistics since Noam Chomsky's "Aspects of the Theory of Syntax" in 1965. It also provides insights on the evolution of language, thought, and communication.
