Description

Linguistic Theory by Robert de Beaugrande offers a distinctive approach to understanding linguistic theories by treating them as discourse performances rather than abstract concepts. De Beaugrande conducts close readings of fundamental works by major linguists including Ferdinand de Saussure, Teun van Dijk, and Walter Kintsch, extracting their main arguments and characteristic methodological moves in their own words. This strategy enables readers to engage directly with the theoretical foundations of linguistics whilst appreciating how key scholars have shaped the discipline. The book is part of the Longman Linguistics Library collection published by Routledge, providing scholarly reference material for students, researchers, and language professionals seeking deeper insight into the evolution and logic of linguistic thought.

Key Features

Analyses linguistic theories through close reading of fundamental works by major theorists from Saussure to van Dijk and Kintsch.

Presents theoretical discourse as a process and product, emphasising the actual words and arguments of linguists rather than abstract summaries.

Part of the Longman Linguistics Library published by Routledge, establishing it as authoritative reference material for linguistics study.

Uncovers characteristic methodological moves and central concepts within influential linguistic theories through direct textual examination.
