He made some important contributions to Theoretical Linguistics that have a long-standing impact on the work of others.

Nope, he was wrong about nearly everything.

He was so wrong and has been so debunked that people have even started calling his work a 'Hoax'. Now, I would not go that far but that's to give you an idea how bad is the work you are damaging other countries with. You should stop doing that.

And i mean that article is being kind when it says "completely wrong" because you will find dozens and dozens of articles explaining why Chomsky has been wrong about nearly everything, did crappy work in many cases, was even 'unethical' in other cases.

the only reason people think he did something worthwhile is because it became popular for phoney scholars, wannabe intellectuals and the pseudo-smart to just 'name drop Chomsky'. It sounds 'smart' in the 1980s to do that. Its not. Its dumb. He was bad at his job.
