Example: 


The man in the picture is Noam Chomsky, who is a very well known and widely respected Language Scientist. He is american and all his life, he has done research in the areas of grammar and language development among others. 


At the core of his theory there is the thought that the structures of language are not mere ordering of words in  that there aprinciples underlying the structrure of languge biologically determined in the mind and he thinks they are, therefore, genetically transmitted, in other words, since we come to life as humans, we come with the capability for language development.


He changed my perspectives of why people learn a language, of how people learn it and how can that proces be reproduced in further stages of life such as "learning" a laguange as an adult or  as he says, "acquiring" a foreign language in later stages and contexts of a lifetime.


He is considered the Father of Modern Linguistics and because of his extensive research, many new methodologies to language study, and also many new areas have opened up, an example is the applications of his language theory into Neuroscience and IT, and even today he keeps on opening up new ares of thought mixing his theories with discourse and particularly public discourse critical analysis, and needless say, he is a must-study for every linguistics or language-related-area-student.

    I had never heard of him, but his theory that language has been seen since we are alive is very interesting.

    I know a little of his work as a strong critical of capitalism, I knew him searching about anarchy. But I didn't know about his work in science and theory of language
