Triple Crown Anthropology Noam Chomsky

How diverse factors influence and shape human behaviour and culture

Noam Chomskys research was done at Harvard University. He studied linguistics and philosophy.

Patterns of human Socialization

When looking at sociolinguistics, It is evident that humans are observant of their surroundings and are influenced by others

By using participant observation, when someone uses a new "slang" or speaks to someone in a certain way, it leads to a pattern within people.

Another example of this would be addressing a teacher as "Mr / Ms ____ " whether you were aware that it was normal to address someone that way, if you saw an entire class doing it, you would follow the pattern aswell

For example, If you heard your friends using a new form of slang such as "bro" you would then eventually start saying it swell whether you're aware of it or not. This will then be passed onto someone else thus creating a pattern

Thesis: Noam Chomsky studied linguistics at Harvard University. He is known for his research on transformational grammar. He also studied the idea that language is uniquely human.

Recently cognitive scientists and other linguists have done research to prove that children do not in fact follow Chomsky’s idea of grammar but instead vary between children such as learning how to break things up (People, objects, places). With new theories coming out, researchers are now being encouraged to not use Chomsky’s theory to prove their findings but rather to brand off Chomsky’s research to create their own theories.

There are novels and contributions such as “Aspects of the theory of Syntax”, “Necessary illusions: Thought control in democratic studies”, “Syntactic structures” & “The logical structure of linguistic theory”

Chomsky met Zellig S. Harris who had similar political convictions to him. Chomsky was then motivated to finish university and take graduate courses with Harris. Chomsky also observed the research of Rene Descartes from the 17th century.

Although Noam Chomsky studied linguistic anthropology, we can connect this research back to Franz Boas who is considered the "father" of anthropology. He studied language as central to the newly immersing discipline.

How diverse factors influence and shape human behaviour and culture

Chomsky studied linguistic Anthropology

We can also be influenced by the cultures we're raised in and who we grow up around. This would be from the perspective of anthropology

Factors may affect & influence the way we use language for example, using professional language compared to using slang

Being with friends may cause you to use slang such as "Bro"

For example, being at work at school may cause you to say things such as "Mr / Ms"

He also studied sociolinguistics which shows the people from different cultures use language as a way to express and have context and meaning

He researched the idea of universal grammar
