Transformational Linguistics and Structural Anthropology

The mysteries of the depths of mind remain vast and profound in contrast to men’s tentative explorations and mappings. However, two new paths for exploring these depths have been opened in recent years, and each we are told will lead deeper and enable us to map far more systematically than has yet been possible. These paths have been opened by Noam Chomsky in linguistics and Claude Levi-Strauss in anthropology; and hence they are separated not only by the gulf between language and other realms of culture, but by the gulf between the philosophical foundations of Anglo-American and continental thinking. Inevitably these two paths have been compared. Such comparison quickly reveals similarities many superficial, but some important as well as differences. The temptation to compare glibly and superficially are compelling : both Chomsky and Levi-Strauss speak centrally of ’transformations’ and of what is ’deep’ rather than shallow; both seek universals of cognitive structure beneath surface diversity. Furthermore, Levi-Strauss alludes often
