Abramson A.S. et al. (eds.) Linguistics and Adjacent Arts and Sciences. Volume 1 - Parts 1, 2

Paris: Mouton de Gruyter, The Hague, 1974. — XXIII, 626 p. — Reprint 2019 Edition. — (Current Trends in Linguistics Series, Volume 12, 1).The greatest weaknesses of this series so far have appeared at its ragged periphery. This book was conceived and designed to alleviate such deficiencies as are said to be characteristic of scientific communities clustering about a well-defined, particular set of problems, or, to use a fashionable single term, with reassuring linguistic resonances, a paradigm. Our bias of the moment supports Edward Sapir's vision, expressed in 1927, that linguists, nolens volens, 'must become increasingly concerned with the many anthropological, sociological, and psychological problems which invade the field of language... The volumes of this series hitherto published have seemingly reinforced the tendency of our discipline toward a high degree of specialization, on the tacit assumption that linguistic knowledge, to become at once cumulative and progressive, requires a certain amount of closure.Linguistics and Philosophy
