Home page of Integrational Linguistics

[Robin Sackmann]

Paul Hopper kindly pointed out the ambiguity of the term "Integrational
Linguistics". True, coincidence of the names for two linguistic approaches is
unfortunate; but given the fact that Hans-Heinrich Lieb's "Integrational
Linguistics" and the approach by Roy Harris have virtually nothing in common,
confusion seems unlikely. Historically, both approaches chose the
denomination independently from each other at an early stage of their
developments (in the 1970s).

I didn't mention this correlation in my original posting because Professor
Harris and his approach are referred to on our home page; cf. the essay
"History of Integrational Linguistics: A short outline" at
