In recent writings and lectures, Chomsky has emphasized a shift in focus occurring in linguistic theory during the 1970s and’80s. While earlier models, such as that set forth in Chomsky (1965), directed their attention at positing and characterizing rule systems, in recent years, linguistic theory has focused more on conditions on representation.
