Description

Explore a major chapter in the history of American linguistics with this volume from Oxford University Press. This book tracks the significant shift in linguistic thought from the 1930s through the 1980s, focusing on the movement from post-Bloomfieldian structuralism to the rise of early generative grammar. Readers will find a detailed historical account covering the rise of structuralism in the 1930s and the connections between American and European structuralist movements. The text examines specific historical milestones, such as the 1957 publication of Joos's Readings in Linguistics. Later sections investigate the beginnings of generative grammar and the reactions from the structural linguistics community. This work provides a clear look at how generativists established their presence during this transformative era in linguistic science.
