Original sentence: In America it flowered as developed by Leonard Bloomfield into distributionalism, and has since then been presupposed by all linguistic science.It has been argued that the problem of trying to explain how he himself was able to make systematic predictive hypotheses from known linguistic data to unknown linguistic data, stimulated his development of structuralism.Their expansive interpretations of Saussure's theories, and their application of those theories to non-linguistic fields of study led to theoretical difficulties, eventually causing proclamations of the "death" of structuralism in those disciplines.This Saussurean influence, however, has been disavowed by Noam Chomsky, among others.This became one of the seminal linguistics works of the 20th century
Edited sentence: In America it flowered as developed by Leonard Bloomfield into distributionalism, and has since then been presupposed by all linguistic science, try as Chomsky might to disavow it.It is surprisingly poorly recognized that it was the problem of trying to explain how he himself was able to make systematic predictive hypotheses from known linguistic data to unknown linguistic data that stimulated his development of structuralism.Their lack of linguistic expertise (and subsequent misunderstanding of Saussure) and the inappropriate character of their objects of analysis led to theoretical difficulties, eventually causing proclamations of the "death" of structuralism in those disciplines.This became a seminal linguistics work, the seminal linguistics work, in the 20th century.Unfortunately, this state of affairs persists
