Before I became interested in linguistics, I was under the impression (based on mentions of Chomsky in the general press) that his ideas had revolutionized linguistics, and that the vast majority of current linguists agreed with his theories. But after reading some articles about linguistics on the web and various comments in this forum, I now have the impression that his ideas are very controversial and that many, if not most, linguists are rather skeptical of his ideas. --Ph.
