Jean-Claude Milner

Jean-Claude Milner (; born 3 January 1941) is a linguist, philosopher and essayist. His specialist fields of endeavour are linguistics (which he studied with Roland Barthes) and psychoanalysis (through the teaching and friendship of Jacques Lacan). In 1971, Milner was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he translated Noam Chomsky's ''Aspects of the Theory of Syntax'' into French. His work helped to establish the terminology of ''theory of syntax'' in the French school of generative grammar. Milner is now a professor at the University Paris Diderot and lives in Paris.
