Noam Chomsky, Famed Linguist, Suffers Stroke
Renowned intellectual recovering in hospital, wife confirms
95-year-old has not lost his brilliance
Noam Chomsky, the famed linguist, philosopher, and political activist, has suffered a stroke and is recovering in hospital, his wife has confirmed.
The 95-year-old, who is considered one of the most influential intellectuals of our time, has not lost his brilliance despite the setback.
"He's doing very well," Chomsky's wife, Valeria Chomsky, told The New York Times. "He's recovering and he's in good spirits."
Chomsky is best known for his work on linguistics, particularly his theory of universal grammar, which argues that all languages share a common underlying structure.
He is also a prominent political activist, and has been a vocal critic of US foreign policy and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Chomsky's stroke is a reminder of the fragility of life, even for those who have made a profound impact on the world.
But his wife's words also offer hope that he will continue to inspire and challenge us for many years to come.
