Abstract:

This book examines the evidential status and use of linguistic intuitions, a
topic that has seen increased interest in recent years. Linguists use native
speakers' intuitions - such as whether or not an utterance sounds acceptable -
as evidence for theories about language, but this approach is not
uncontroversial. The two parts of this volume draw on the most recent work in
both philosophy and linguistics to explore the two major issues at the heart
of the debate. Chapters in the first part address the 'justification
question', critically analysing and evaluating the theoretical rationale for
the evidential use of linguistic intuitions. The second part discusses recent
developments in the domain of experimental syntax, focusing on the question of
whether gathering intuitions experimentally is epistemically and
methodologically superior to the informal methods that have traditionally been
used.
