Thom, the famous French mathematician and founder of catastrophe theory, considered linguistics an exemplary field for the application of his general morphology. It is surprising that physicists, chemists, biologists, psychologists and sociologists are all engaged in the field of catastrophe theory, but that there has been almost no echo from linguistics. Meanwhile linguistics has evolved in the direction of Rene? Thom's intuitions about an integrated science of language and it has become a necessary task to review, update and elaborate the proposals made by Thom and to embed them in the f 410 0$aPragmatics & beyond ;$v3:5. 606 $aSemantics$xMathematical models 606 $aLanguage and languages$xVariation 606 $aCatastrophes (Mathematics) 615 0$aSemantics$xMathematical models. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xVariation. 615 0$aCatastrophes (Mathematics) 676 $a401.43 676 $a401/.43 700 $aWildgen$b Wolfgang$0214518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821158303321 996 $aCatastrophe theoretic semantics$9606565 997 $aUNINA
