Beyond expression - A systematic study of the foundations of linguistics.pdf


pagina: 1

There have been signs in the past decade that the rather artificial separation of disciplines may be coming to an end. It is no longer a point of honor for each to demonstrate its absolute independence of the others, and new interests have emerged that permit the classical problems to be formulated in novel and occasionally suggestive ways

Chomsky

unless “one knows what one is looking for there is nothing to find, and such knowing is not the result of objective observation”

Robinson

fundamentele concepten altijd hetzelfde, gewoon andere context

“mere historical accident and of no linguistic relevance”

general opposition: langue/parole ; norm/fact ; competence/performance ; virtual/actual ; system/process institute=theory/praxis

→ very distinct but an undeniable correlation

grammar is an idealization

“possible arrangements of elements that need not be actually realized”
