[Lexicog] Re: Sprachgef ühl

[Rudolph Troike]

Howdy, all,

   My understanding of 'Sprachgefühl' (although it may have traditionally
been applied philologically to puristic or artistic aspects) has always been
that it is essentially what Chomsky originally had in mind in invoking
'linguistic intuition' as the source of judgments of grammaticality,
including such issues as whether 'bnick' or 'tlot' is a possible word of
English. But as suggested in other posts, it can certainly extend to other
areas of contextual, stylistic, gender (in the sociological sense), age, and
regional appropriateness ('felicity', to use Austin's term).
