Abstract:

This book contains new articles by leading philosophers and linguists
discussing a promising philosophical framework distinct from currently
dominant ones: Linguistic Realism. As opposed to Nominalism and Chomskyian
Conceptualism, this approach distinguishes between use of language, knowledge
of language, and language as such. The latter is conceived as part of the
realm of abstract objects. The authors show how adopting Linguistic Realism
overcomes entrenched problems with other frameworks and suggest that
Linguistic Realism will best serve those interested in formal linguistics, the
cognitive dimension of natural language, and linguistic philosophy. The essays
offer different perspectives on Linguistic Realism, either supporting this
paradigm or taking it as a starting point for developing modified conceptions
of linguistics and for further tying linguistics to the kind of formal
theories of sensory cognition that were pioneered in visual perception by
David Marr—whose work is predicated on exactly the object/knowledge
distinction made by Linguistic Realists.
