Description

Explore a new way of understanding human communication with Hard-Science Linguistics from Bloomsbury. This volume addresses the historical challenges of the 1960s depth hypothesis, which questioned the link between grammar complexity and human memory limits. By moving away from ancient grammatical foundations, this book presents a path toward standard hard-science foundations for the field. This work serves as the first detailed report on reconstituting linguistics based on the framework established by Victor H. Yngve in 1996. It defines hard-science (human) linguistics as the scientific study of how people communicate, looking beyond just words to study people, communicative energy flow, and other essential components of the process. This text is an essential resource for those looking to understand the scientific shift in linguistic study and the modern foundations of communication science.
