Chomsky (1980/2005) suggests that generative grammar adopts what is referred to as the ”Galilean style” in physics. The purpose of this note is to clarify the nature of the “Galilean Style” in Galilean physics, as Chomsky perceives it. By scrutinizing Chomskyʼs remarks in his earlier works, I attempt to show that there are at least two notable methodological characteristics which have been focused and discussed as features of the Galilean style by Chomsky (1978/1988, 1979). They are to restrict attention to data crucial to the theory and to seek the explanatory power and depth of underlying principles. Finally, I briefly mention a few remaining issues concerning the nature of the Galilean style.
