From: Jimmer Endres <jimmer@bawdy.slip.cs.cmu.edu> THE NOAM CHOMSKY ARCHIVE Introduction Noam Chomsky is an Institute Professor and Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT, where he has revolutionized linguistics twice since the fifties. He is also one of the most prominent dissidents writing in the United States today, a severe, impassioned and consistent critic of US foreign policy. The Noam Chomsky Archive is a public collection of files (articles, interviews, lectures, reviews, etc.) by and about Noam Chomsky. (At the moment it only contains ``political'' material; the science half of his work is not represented.) I have collected everything that I was able to find that was publicly electronically available, edited it, (began to) cross-reference it, and basically made it easy to get, read, and print. Now here it is, all in one place. CONTENTS articles/ Essays and articles by Noam Chomsky interviews/ Published or transcribed interviews with Noam Chomsky lectures/ Published or transcribed lectures by Noam Chomsky quotes/ Excerpts from larger works and sound bites by Noam Chomsky reviews/ Reviews, commentaries, or summaries of works by Noam Chomsky etc/ Miscellaneous files (bibliographies, images, etc.) Please keep the headers attached to these files if you distribute them so that others can find out about the Archive. HOW TO ACCESS THE ARCHIVE 1. via the World Wide Web. If you have a browser, it is much friendlier to access the Archive at http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu:/usr/tp0x/chomsky.html 2. via anonymous ftp. If you would rather ftp to the Archive directly, you can ftp ftp.cs.cmu.edu log in as ``anonymous'' or ``ftp''; then send your address (e.g., jimmer@bawdy.slip.cs.cmu.edu) as the password. Then cd user/cap/chomsky (note that there is no slash at then beginning of the pathname). From there, use the ftp commands ls, cd, and get. 3. via afs. Users with afs access can cd /afs/andrew/usr/tp0x/chomsky/ and browse. CONTRIBUTING TO THE ARCHIVE I know that this collection is far from complete. If you have access to a file that is not included, please email it to me. There are a heap of errors and omissions that I know about; many more are certain to be there. If you catch even a minor one, PLEASE contact me at the address below. HELPING WITH ARCHIVE MAINTENANCE As usual, I bit off more than I could chew with this project. If you would like to help with some of the dogwork involved, especially if you have experience with proofreading or hacking LaTeX, please get in touch with me at the address below. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks go to many contributors, notably Dan Epstein, and especially to Harel Barzilai, co-moderator of misc.activism.progressive, and Tom Gray of Peacenet for immeasurable help. Tom Price and Amy Cooper kindly contributed computer resources; Chris Paris provided computer resources and boundless expertise and patience. REAL SOON NOW Some improvements soon to come: 1. conversion of more files to LaTeX, PostScript (and maybe other) formats 2. more consistent and thorough keywords and cross-references 3. a million more ideas I'm sure I'll have I will make announcements (among other channels) to alt.fan.noam-chomsky and misc.activism.progressive (both recommended). Meantime, do please send along any ideas . . . as well as your suggestions or comments. I would very much appreciate any feedback. last modified: 26 July 1994 Jimmer Endres / jimmer@bawdy.slip.cs.cmu.edu
