In 1951, Chomsky presented his Master’s thesis: Morphophonemics of Modern Hebrew. It is considered by many as a landmark study in linguistics and generative phonology, which provides not only an analysis of morphophonemics but of the entire grammar of Modern Hebrew from syntax to phonology. This work is of singular importance as it contains the genesis of the author's work in the field of generative grammar which has had such a profound impact upon the study of linguistics. This reissue of a truly pioneering work will be of great interest to all those concerned with generative grammar. [Routledge Ret-Morphophonemics of Modern Hebrew, a reissue of Noam Chomsky’s 11A thesis, written in 1951] “The fundamental question about any grammar, aside from that of its adequacy in describing the facts, is the question: why is it constructed in the particular way it is? As -49- stated in the introduction, we will attempt to give a limited answer to this question for the morphological statement just presented by demonstrating that the statements are partially ordered by criteria of simplicity. The necessary ordering of the statements of the morphology is given […] in this chart, a line drawn from left to right, not crossing horizontal lines, determines a necessary order (left to right) among the elements in the boxes through which it passes. These elements are the numbers of the morphological statements @huutruongtv
