Carol Doris Chomsky (née Schatz; July 1, 1930 – December 19, 2008) was an American linguist and education specialist who studied language acquisition in children.

Although enjoying themselves, Noam Chomsky was appalled by the Jewish nationalism and anti-Arab racism that he encountered in the country, as well as the pro-Stalinist trend that he thought pervaded the kibbutz's leftist community.

[2] Despite Carol's interest in becoming a mechanic or driving a tractor at the time of the young couple's stay in 1953,[2] they returned to the United States.

She earned a doctoral degree in linguistics from Harvard University in 1968, having attended the school in order to ensure that she would be able to make a living in the event that her husband were sent to jail for his active opposition to the Vietnam War.
