Original sentence: " His differences with Chomsky contributed to fierce, acrimonious debates among linguists that have come to be known as the "linguistics wars." However, "In working through the details of his early theory, I found quite a few cases where semantics, context, and other such factors entered into rules governing the syntactic occurrences of phrases and morphemes." Physicist David Bohm made a similar argument for embodiment in Thought As A System."During that period," he stated in an interview, "I was attempting to unify Chomsky's transformational grammar with formal logic.A number of thinkers other than Lakoff have also considered the mind to be "embodied.I came up with the beginnings of an alternative theory in 1963 and, along with wonderful collaborators like Haj Ross and Jim McCawley, developed it through the sixties.I had helped work out a lot of the early details of Chomsky's theory of grammar.ISBN 019509834X.In the late 1960s, however, he joined with other former students to promote generative semantics as an alternative to Chomsky's generative syntax.Lakoff began his career as a student and later a teacher of the theory of transformational grammar developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Noam Chomsky.Noam claimed then-and still does, so far as I can tell-that syntax is independent of meaning, context, background knowledge, memory, cognitive processing, communicative intent, and every aspect of the body.Oxford University Press, 1995.Randy Allen Harris, The Linguistics Wars
Edited sentence: A criticism of Lakoff would be that he writes as if he has discovered something unique with the concept of the embodied mind.However, a number of thinkers have considered the mind to be 'embodied', and his argument would be stronger if he referenced their ideas.Physicist David Bohm made a similar argument for embodiment in Thought As A System.Presumably it is contributions such as this that have helped endear Lakoff to some political activists with little interest in theories of the mind
