After presenting some methodological and historical background, he sets forth a theory of language and of grammar, showing that the science of grammar is not an empirical, but a normative science, comparable to logic and philosophy, characterized by the use of the method of explication. 410 0$aAmsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.$nSeries IV,$pCurrent issues in linguistic theory ;$vv. 5. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 606 $aLinguistics$xMethodology 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy 606 $aLinguistics$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPositivism 606 $aHermeneutics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 615 0$aLinguistics$xMethodology. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLinguistics$xHistory 615 0$aPositivism. 615 0$aHermeneutics. 676 $a415 700 $aItkonen$b Esa$0172611 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458007103321 996 $aGrammatical theory and metascience$9487100 997 $aUNINA
