The chapter on Chomsky is in the book A Marxist Philosophy of
Language, published in paperback recently by Haymarket. Also has a
chapter on Habermas, and discusses Stalin, Voloshinov/Bakhtin,
Pecheux, Macherey, Lenin, Deleuze & Guattari, all in a very
substantial manner, then two chapters of proposition and a chapter of
short glossaries. A very worthwhile purchase in paperback, it
originally was in the rather expensive Brill hardback

Hi David,
Where can one read more about this? Is it only in Lecercle's 'The
Violence of Language' or is his critique of Chomsky available somewhere
online?

Chomsky's theory of language: methodological individualism,
fetishism, the refusal of history, and naturalism. Each of these
would seem to relate to Chomsky's
innatism, the defence of which - together with the defence of the
idea of 'free association' - seems to be the raison d'être for
Chomsky's steadfast adherence to theoretical humanism in the face of
Foucault's critique.
