Description

This volume reflects the fact that the possibilities in theory construction allow for a much wider spectrum than students of linguistics have perhaps been led to believe.

It consists of articles by scholars of differing generations and widely varying academic persuasions: some have received their initiation to the trade within the framework of transformational-generative grammar, some in one or the other structuralist mould, yet others in the philology and linguistics of particular languages and language families.

They all share, however, some doubts concerning characteristic attitudes and procedures of present-day 'mainstream linguistics'.

All want, not a uniformity of ideological stance, but a union of individualists working towards the advancement of theory and empirical accountability.
