%0 Journal Article %T THE KUHNIAN ASPECTS OF THE CHOMSKYAN SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM %A £¿or£¿e Vidanovi£¿ %J Facta Universitatis Series : Linguistics and Literature %D 2006 %I University of Nis %X This paper analyzes Chomsky's system of grammatical description seeking elements that might prove that his approach, started in 1957 with the publication of Syntactic Structures, actually marked a scientific "leap" in the sense that Thomas Kuhn described 'a scientific revolution'. The author considers the latest, level-free, developments in Chomsky's theory as similar to his earlier work and analyzes the internal structure of his theory up to the appearance of the Government and Binding approach. %K Chomsky %K Kuhn %K scientific revolution %K paradigm %K empiricism %K rationalism %U http://facta.junis.ni.ac.rs/lal/lal2006/lal2006-02.html
