According to the author's findings, the only rejection of an article that N
oam Chomsky submitted to a linguistics journal came from the senior editor
of Word, Andre Martinet (1908-1999), who was an adamant foe of neo-Bloomfie
ldianism, while leading neo-Bloomfieldians, particularly the key gatekeeper
, Bernard Bloch (1907-1965), the editor of Language, welcomed his early wor
k and a momentous explication of it by Robert B. Lees (1922-1996). The pres
ent paper reveals documentary evidence that the alleged 'main work' that 'c
ouldn't get published' was actively sought by at least two book publishers
early on, and that if it was blocked, it was blocked by Chomsky's failure t
o deliver the contracted manuscript of The Logical Structure of Linguistic
Theory (LSLT) at the time.
