Language is a peer-reviewed quarterly academic journal published by the Linguistic Society of America since 1925.

[citation needed] One of the most famous articles to appear in Language was the young Noam Chomsky's scathing 1959 review of the book Verbal Behavior by the behaviorist cognitive psychologist B. F.

It was followed two years later by another book review that is almost as famous—Robert B. Lees's glowingly positive assessment of Chomsky's own 1957 book Syntactic Structures, which put Chomsky and his generative grammar on the intellectual map as the successor to American structuralism.

This article describes the socially normative system of rules that accounts for the complex turn-taking behaviour of participants in conversation, demonstrating the system in detail using recordings of actual conversation.
