Description

Hard-Science Linguistics by Bloomsbury presents a groundbreaking reconstitution of linguistic study on scientific foundations. This volume details how Victor H. Yngve's 1996 hard-science framework addresses the limitations of traditional depth hypothesis approaches from 1960, which failed to establish meaningful connections between grammatical complexity and human memory constraints. Rather than relying on ancient grammatical traditions, this book establishes rigorous scientific methodology for studying human communication. Hard-science linguistics examines how people actually communicate whilst considering communicative energy flow and relevant environmental factors. As part of the Open Linguistics series, this work offers researchers, students, and language professionals a comprehensive guide to modern linguistic science grounded in empirical observation and testable principles, moving beyond speculative theory toward reproducible research methods.
