    LINGUISTICS

    Uploaded by

    Virgilio Hernandez
    Sir William Jones was the first to demonstrate the connection between classical languages like Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit and suggested they shared common roots. He also contributed to the system of transliteration and translated many works to English. Ferdinand de Saussure introduced structuralism to linguistics and established the arbitrary relationship between sounds and meanings. He proposed distinguishing between langue and parole. Leonard Bloomfield represented American structuralism and rejected non-observable aspects of language analysis. Noam Chomsky developed generative grammar and the theory that linguistics should study the mental representations underlying a speaker's knowledge of language.

    LINGUIST CONTRIBUTIONS

    • It was the fist person ever to demonstrate and show to society


    the relationship and connection between the classical
    languages such as Greek and Latin, and Sanskrit languages,
    Sir William Jones
    showing up the resemblance of both of them and suggested
    that the three languages share a same root. He also said that
    the gothic, Persian and Celtic languages may also have the
    same root.
    • He contributed with the system of transliteration, and translate
    a big numerous of articles to English, the principal book he
    translated is called “Laws of Man” (Manu smriti)
    • He was the fist ever person from the west that studied Indian
    1746-1794 classical music, and the first to attempt to classify the Indian
    flora and fauna from, after their studies, many western
    universities were interested in this topic.
    • He was one of the founders of structuralism, he introduces this
    Ferdinand de Saussure
    discipline to linguistics, he make a break on how to study
    language, making history.
    • Stablished the arbitrary relation between sound and meaning
    and how all languages are structured in a similar way. our
    conception of things, actions, and ideas, are part of our
    language, and schemas in the brain capable of react to
    combinations of sounds.
    • He introduced the terms signifiant ‘signifier’ for the acoustic
    image and signifié ‘signified’ for the concept.
    • He proposes a distinction between langue (abstraction of
    language) and parole. (Reality of language), even though
    1857-1913 language is based on both of them.
    • He represents American structuralism. rejects the use of all that
    Leonard Bloomfield was not “directly observable” for making a linguistic analysis.
    • founder of “antimentalism” (the interpretation the relation of
    language and acts of the mind).
    • His main works set his version of structuralism and draws the
    three principal traditions in study of language: the comparative-
    historical, philosophical-empirical and descriptive-prescriptive
    • He was concern about giving linguistics a similar character to
    that of the natural sciences, proposing to eliminate all studies
    related to phycological or mentalist topics.
    • He said that language start with the phonetics and Phonology.
    Arguing the existence of two concepts in order to understand

    1887-1949 sound and meaning, lexicon (the total inventory of morphemes)


    and grammar (the combination of morphemes)
    • He developed the theory of generative grammar, which is one
    of the most significant contributions to linguistics that was made
    Noam Chomsky in the 20th century.
    • His contribution of naturalistic approach to the study of
    language has influenced the philosophy of language and mind.
    • He stablished the Chomsky hierarchy, which is a classification
    of formal languages by their generative power.
    • He proposes that the proper object of study for linguistics
    should be the mental representations of grammars, that help
    the native speaker to have some knowledge of his language,
    just like a child constructing a phrase.
    • According to him, the ultimate goal of linguistic science is to
    provide a universal grammar theory, which gives the adequate
    1928-nowadays
    grammar to any language, which is available in the social
    environments of children
