  3. ^ "Chomsky's sojourn in Siena was organized twenty years after his visit to the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, an event which, through the memorable Pisa Lectures, has profoundly influenced the field of theoretical linguistics ever since. In connection with this anniversary, Chomsky received, on October 27, 1999, the 'Perfezionamento honoris causa, ' the honorary degree delivered by the Scuola Normale Superiore. In that occasion, he gave the Galileo Lecture 'Perspectives on Language and Mind', which traces central ideas of current scientific linguistics and of the modern cognitive sciences to their roots in classical thought, starting with Galileo Galilei's famous praise of the 'marvelous invention, 'alphabetic writing, which allows us to communicate with other people, no matter how distant in space and time." (Belletti & Rizzi 2002)
