Description
Résumé:Form and formalism are a pair of highly productive and polysemous terms that occupy a central place in much linguistic scholarship. Diverse notions of form embedded in biological, cognitive and aesthetic discourses have been employed in accounts of language structure and relationship, while formalism harbours a family of senses referring to particular approaches to the study of language as well as representations of linguistic phenomena. This volume brings together a series of contributions from historians of science and philosophers of language that explore some of the key meanings and uses that these multifaceted terms and their derivatives have found in linguistics, and what these reveal about the mindset, temperament and daily practice of linguists, from the nineteenth century up to the present day.
