İn this paper, our objective was to investigate the criticism directed by Chomsky
to "behaviorist" approaches on language, from a "mentalist" perspective. For this
purpose, we first tried to present key arguments of mentalist philosophy of language
by referring to the ideas of its principal representatives in the history of philosophy.
Thereafter, we briefly reviewed emergence of behaviorism in psychology and
examined its versions adapted to philosophy of language. İn the light of our
preparatory studies, we discussed why and how Chomsky criticized the behaviorist
movement in philosophy of language.

Makalemizde Chomsky'nin "zihinci" bir perspektiften bakarak dil hakkındaki
"davranışçı" yaklaşımlara yönelttiği eleştiriyi incelemeyi amaçladık. Öncelikle zihinci dil
felsefesinin temel argümanlarını, felsefe tarihindeki başlıca temsilcilerinin
düşüncelerine başvurarak sunmaya çalıştık. Ardından, davranışçılığın psikoloji alanında
ortaya çıkışını kısaca gözden geçirdik ve dil felsefesine uyarlanmış biçimlerini tetkik
ettik. Bu hazırlık etütlerimizin ışığında, Chomsky'nin dil felsefesindeki davranışçı eğilimi
neden ve nasıl eleştirdiğini tartıştık.
