Answer:

Noam Chomsky is known as the father of modern linguistics.
His groundbreaking work in the 1950s revolutionized the field, particularly with his theory of generative grammar, which emphasizes the innate structures of language in the human mind.
His book Syntactic Structures (1957) introduced the concept of transformational grammar, challenging behaviorist views of language acquisition.
