Chomsky's 'The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory' was published in the year

  • A.1965
  • B.1975
  • C.1962
  • D.1955

Answer: B

The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory was published in 1975. Chomsky wrote it in 1955-56 as a long manuscript, but the book appeared in print only in 1975 (Plenum Press), which is why the official key gives 1975.

1955 is the year of composition and is the tempting choice for that reason; it is not the year of publication. 1962 and 1965 are wrong: 1965 is the year of Aspects of the Theory of Syntax, a different and much better known book, and the question asks specifically about the earlier work. Do not confuse the date a work was written with the date it was published.
