„My reason for discussing Skinner’s book in such detail was that it was the most careful and thoroughgoing presentation of such speculations, an evaluation that I feel is still accurate. Therefore, if the conclusions I attempted to substantiate in the review are correct, as I believe they are, then Skinner’s work can be regarded as, in effect, a reductio ad absurdum of behaviorist assumptions.“ Noam Chomsky: A Review of B. F. Skinner's Verbal Behavior. In: Leon A. Jakobovits, Murray S. Miron (Hrsg.): Readings in the Psychology of Language. Prentice-Hall, 1967, S. 142–143; Volltext (Memento vom 22.
