Abstract:

This volume sets out to discuss the role of "norms" and "normativity" in both
language and linguistics from a multiplicity of perspectives. These concepts
are centrally important to the philosophy and methodology of linguistics, and
their role and nature need to be investigated in detail. The chapters address
a range of issues from general questions about ontology, epistemology and
methodology to aspects of particular subfields (such as semantics and
historical linguistics) or phenomena (such as construal and code-switching).
The volume aims to further our understanding of language and linguistics as
well as to encourage further discussion on the metatheory of linguistics. Due
to the fundamental nature of the issues under discussion, this volume will be
of interest to all linguists regardless of their background or fields of
expertise and to philosophers concerned with language or other normative
domains.
