Abstract:

This 1974 book is a personal survey by an eminent linguist of most branches of 
linguistics, setting out its position, questioning some underlying assumptions, 
and in general testing the adequacy of descriptive theories. Though the 
underlying theory is basically that of transformational-generative linguistics, 
there are many queries and disagreements, some of which might be called 
structuralist in a broad sense, or even taxonomic. The particular problems 
chosen are those which have forced themselves on Professor Householder 
during a lifetime of reading, teaching and writing about linguistics, including the 
justification of linguistic research itself.
