Abstract:

This book addresses some issues of theorization in linguistics having to do
with the systems of representation used in linguistics and the relation
between linguistics and cognition. The essays gathered in the first part
question the very concept of metalanguage, comparing the metalanguage used in
formalised languages and that of natural languages, or examining Chomsky’s
theory of mental representations in relation to semantic description and
analysis. In the same line of thought, another contribution endeavours to show
how the notational system of a linguistic theory is part and parcel of both
conceptualisation and theorisation, in an analysis based on the early
development of phonetics and phonology. The second part of the volume studies
the relations between linguistics and cognition seen under different angles.
The first study examines how the relation between cognitive linguistics and
other disciplines is conducive to confusion and divergences in the
interpretation of the terminology, and is followed by a discussion of the
origins and development of prototype theory in psychology and its transfer in
linguistics by cognitive semanticists. The last two chapters study how mental
operations are expressed in language, analysing the cognitive processes of
deductive vs. abductive inference on the one hand, and the metarepresentation
of utterance acts by assertive shell-nouns on the other hand.
