Carol Chomsky, 78, Linguist and Educator By MARGALIT FOX Published: December 20, 2008
Carol Chomsky, a linguist and education specialist whose work helped illuminate the ways in which language comes to children, died on Friday at her home in Lexington, Mass. She was 78. The cause was cancer, her sister-in-law Judith Brown Chomsky said.

追悼文は以下のパラグラフで閉じられています。
In a 2001 interview with The Pennsylvania Gazette, the alumni magazine of the University of Pennsylvania, Carol Chomsky contrasted her brand of linguistics ? practical, experimental, hands-on ? with her husband’s abstract, quasi-mathematical approach: “It’s a very different sort of ‘linguistics’ from Noam’s pursuits,” she said. “I always have to laugh when people talk about how interesting our dinner-table conversation must be since we’re in the same field.”
いかにもCarolらしい。
