Abstract

Neste artigo proponho uma discussão sobre   as críticas de Noam  Chomsky  à semântica extensional e  como o internalismo chomskiano está estreitamente relacionado ao programa de investigação gerativista. O argumento central aqui apresentado é que o que faz essa interpretação  extremamente coerente é a distinção de Chomsky entre uma semântica internalista e pragmática.
