Abstract

Linguistic theories often suffer from the dilemma that their explanatory power is based on extra-linguistic assumptions. The book delineates the essence of linguistic theory and linguistic explanation and, in doing so, proposes a solution to the dilemma. Simultaneously, the book is one of the first attempts to profile the philosophy of linguistics as a distinct sub-discipline of the contemporary philosophy of science.

Abstract

Comment penser l’épistémologie de la linguistique en prenant comme point de départ le pluralisme théorique réel de cette discipline ? Par quels critères la recherche grammaticale se jauge-t-elle si on abandonne une conception concurrentielle de la démarche théorique ? En examinant divers domaines de la théorie linguistique, cet ouvrage tente de mettre au jour certaines propriétés herméneutiques, mal comprises et parfois même non encore repérées, de la théorisation linguistique. À ces investigations, s’ajoute l’étude de certaines questions soulevées par la critique « idéologique » de la linguistique contemporaine, ce qui permet d’étudier l’activité théorique menée au sein de la discipline à l’aune des réalités socio-idéologiques dont elle est tributaire, parfois à son insu. En réunissant ainsi deux manières souvent disjointes d’aborder la linguistique, Nick Riemer ouvre la voie à une compréhension nouvelle de la complexité des objets textuels que sont les théories grammaticales. How can we understand the philosophy of linguistics by taking the discipline’s actual theoretical pluralism as our starting point? By what criteria can grammatical research be assessed if we abandon a competitive model of theorising? Through an investigation of different areas of linguistics, this book brings to light certain hermeneutic properties of linguistic theorisation which are currently poorly understood and sometimes not even yet noticed. As a complement to these investigations, the book analyses a number of questions that arise in the “ideological” criticism of contemporary linguistics, examining the discipline’s theoretical activity in light of the socio-ideological realities on which it depends, sometimes unwittingly. Uniting two approaches to linguistics that are rarely brought into dialogue, the book opens up the possibility of an alternative understanding of the complexity of the particular textual objects that are grammatical theories.
