内容説明

In Linguistic Theory, Robert de Beaugrande analyses linguistic theories not as abstract ideas or theses, but as the process and product of theoretical discourse. He argues that the best documentation of this discourse can be found in the 'fundamental' works of major linguists from Ferdinand de Saussure to Teun van Dijk and Walter Kintsch. He therefore employs the highly unusual strategy of a close reading of these works as discourse performances and strives to uncover their main points and characteristic moves in the linguist's own words. Through this approach, the reader is able to appreciate and understand the variety and controversy among linguistic theories as they have emerged and developed in interaction with each other. Special scrutiny is allocated to the issue of how far the active practice of the linguists followed their own theories and proposals, and why. The author concludes by assessing the prospects for linguistics to be drawn from the retrospect in the previous chapters.

内容説明

This series is intended for students at both postgraduate and undergraduate levels, and aims at providing a broad view of the subject such as is difficult to obtain exclusively from scholarly journals and monographs. "Linguistic Theory" is a survey of the leading work of the most important 20th-century linguisticians, including de Saussure, Firth, Chomsky, Halliday and Van Dijk. An understanding of past theories is crucial to studying modern linguistics and this text presents both the range of theories in themselves as they developed chronologically and a historical perspective on that development. To do this the author employs the unusual strategy of a close reading of these works as discourse performances and strives to uncover their main points and characteristics in the linguists' own words. The author uses the historical perspective to assess the future prospects for linguistic study and special scrutiny is made of how far the linguists followed their own theories.
