Noam Chomsky has not died (or passed on, choose your verb). I am his department head, and I texted with his wife an hour ago. The rumors and fuss in the media and social media are not helping him or his family, they're adding stress. Before you post something, please consider that he and his wife are human beings, and post with thoughtfulness. #NoamChomsky #Chomsky #AcademicChatter

Reports of the death of Noam Chomsky appear to be untrue. The New Statesman and Jacobin published obituaries for the 95-year-old linguist, philosopher, activist and intellectual, who is known to have had a stroke last year, however Cauê Seigner Ameni, editor of Jacobin Brasil tweeted that he has spoken to Chomsky's wife, Valerie, and he is alive. The New Statesman has now taken down its obituary, while Jacobin has given its tribute a new headline: "Let’s Celebrate Noam Chomsky, the Intellectual and Moral Giant."
