Synopsis:
Dr Lass argues that theoretical constructs of language change should be based more on philosophy than the physical sciences.
Book Description: Roger Lass is concerned about the nature of argumentation within linguistics and the status of its data and theoretical constructs. He challenges linguists to confront the philosophical implications of their subject and look past the model explanations of linguistic change that are imposed on the physical sciences.
