THE NOAM CHOMSKY ARCHIVE
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
|
|
Noam Chomsky is an Institute Professor and Professor of Linguistics
|
|
and Philosophy at MIT, where he has revolutionized linguistics twice
|
|
since the fifties. He is also one of the most prominent dissidents
|
|
writing in the United States today, a severe, impassioned and
|
|
consistent critic of US foreign policy.
|
|
|
|
The Noam Chomsky Archive is a public collection of files (articles,
|
|
interviews, lectures, reviews, etc.) by and about Noam Chomsky. (At
|
|
the moment it only contains ``political'' material; the science half
|
|
of his work is not represented.) I have collected everything that I
|
|
was able to find that was publicly electronically available, edited
|
|
it, (began to) cross-reference it, and basically made it easy to get,
|
|
read, and print. Now here it is, all in one place.
|
|
|
|
CONTENTS
|
|
|
|
articles/ Essays and articles by Noam Chomsky
|
|
interviews/ Published or transcribed interviews with Noam Chomsky
|
|
lectures/ Published or transcribed lectures by Noam Chomsky
|
|
quotes/ Excerpts from larger works and sound bites by Noam Chomsky
|
|
reviews/ Reviews, commentaries, or summaries of works by Noam Chomsky
|
|
etc/ Miscellaneous files (bibliographies, images, etc.)
|
|
|
|
Please keep the headers attached to these files if you distribute them
|
|
so that others can find out about the Archive.
|
|
|
|
HOW TO ACCESS THE ARCHIVE
|
|
|
|
1. via the World Wide Web. If you have a browser, it is much
|
|
friendlier to access the Archive at
|
|
|
|
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu:/usr/tp0x/chomsky.html
|
|
|
|
2. via anonymous ftp. If you would rather ftp to the Archive
|
|
directly, you can
|
|
|
|
ftp ftp.cs.cmu.edu
|
|
|
|
log in as ``anonymous'' or ``ftp''; then send your address (e.g.,
|
|
jimmer@bawdy.slip.cs.cmu.edu) as the password. Then
|
|
|
|
cd user/cap/chomsky
|
|
|
|
(note that there is no slash at then beginning of the pathname).
|
|
From there, use the ftp commands ls, cd, and get.
|
|
|
|
3. via afs. Users with afs access can
|
|
|
|
cd /afs/andrew/usr/tp0x/chomsky/
|
|
|
|
and browse.
|
|
|
|
CONTRIBUTING TO THE ARCHIVE
|
|
|
|
I know that this collection is far from complete. If you have access
|
|
to a file that is not included, please email it to me. There are a
|
|
heap of errors and omissions that I know about; many more are certain
|
|
to be there. If you catch even a minor one, PLEASE contact me at the
|
|
address below.
|
|
|
|
HELPING WITH ARCHIVE MAINTENANCE
|
|
|
|
As usual, I bit off more than I could chew with this project. If you
|
|
would like to help with some of the dogwork involved, especially if
|
|
you have experience with proofreading or hacking LaTeX, please get in
|
|
touch with me at the address below.
|
|
|
|
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
|
|
|
|
Thanks go to many contributors, notably Dan Epstein, and especially to
|
|
Harel Barzilai, co-moderator of misc.activism.progressive, and Tom
|
|
Gray of Peacenet for immeasurable help. Tom Price and Amy Cooper
|
|
kindly contributed computer resources; Chris Paris provided computer
|
|
resources and boundless expertise and patience.
|
|
|
|
REAL SOON NOW
|
|
|
|
Some improvements soon to come:
|
|
|
|
1. conversion of more files to LaTeX, PostScript (and maybe other) formats
|
|
2. more consistent and thorough keywords and cross-references
|
|
3. a million more ideas I'm sure I'll have
|
|
|
|
I will make announcements (among other channels) to
|
|
alt.fan.noam-chomsky and misc.activism.progressive (both recommended).
|
|
Meantime, do please send along any ideas . . . as well as your
|
|
suggestions or comments. I would very much appreciate any feedback.
