New approaches to linguistic evidence

En savoir plus sur le livre

The evaluation of linguistic theories relies significantly on the types of data considered as evidence for or against their hypotheses. Determining which data types are utilized by linguistic theories and recognized as evidence is a fundamental issue in contemporary linguistics. This volume aims to illuminate this problem by presenting initial findings from a research project. Part I features state-of-the-art studies that critically analyze current perspectives on the topic. Part II includes case studies that demonstrate how the conclusions drawn from these studies can inspire innovative and refined analyses of specific linguistic issues. The collection addresses the pressing question of data types in linguistic theory, contributing to ongoing discussions and offering fresh insights into the evaluation of linguistic hypotheses. By examining both theoretical frameworks and practical applications, the work seeks to advance understanding in the field and encourage further exploration of the relationship between data and linguistic analysis.
