Answer 1

3. this seems like its a trick question of sorts but in general i would say its true.
4. noam chomsky is brilliant...he wrote the syntax theory of language which is more or less considered the first modern view of liquistics, meaning it wasn't based really on adding to any other work done on the subject..so given the question, i would say true.
1. it was the 19th...so false probably...though it was published as well in the 20th...hehe...but i assume they mean when FIRST published.

the others i could guess on but would not be comfortable doing so.

"Definition: Transformational Grammar
A linguistic theory developed by Noam Chomsky, first put forth in his book Syntactic Structures (1957), that provides a methodology for describing the relationships between sentences expressing similar concepts to underlying "deep structures" by means of various transformational rules. A central premise of Chomsky's work is that humans are innately predisposed to language abilities, and that such transformational processes are linguistic universals. Bernstein (1976) tries to argue for a similar existence of musical universals."
