It is a revised and expanded version of "The Logical Basis of Linguistic Theory", a paper that Chomsky presented in the ninth <a href="/facts/International_Congress_of_Linguists/gJJ0TS98">International Congress of Linguists</a> held in <a href="/facts/Cambridge,_Massachusetts/k9UMIJ7U">Cambridge, Massachusetts</a> in 1962.
