First, it will show that distributional analysis had characteristics which made it particu­larly receptive to some aspects of information theory, such as the special status of repe­tition? and the treatment of linguistic elements as physical events. Second, this paper will show how Harris gradually incorporated the notions of information theory and methods to address new issues in his own theory: from the identification and classi­fication of linguistic units to the analysis of redundant patterns in utterances and in discourses, and finally to the ultimate objective of developing an information grammar for the sublanguages of sciences. Thus, infor­mation, at first a pure quan­titative entity, underwent a semantic turn when Harris adapted it for linguistic ob­jec­tives. 410 0$aAmsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.$nSeries III,$pStudies in the history of the language sciences ;$vv. 115. 606 $aLinguistics$xHistory$vCongresses 615 0$aLinguistics$xHistory 676 $a410.9 701 $aHassler$b Gerda$0455279 701 $aVolkmann$b Gesina$01662418 712 12$aInternational Conference on the History of the Language Sciences 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828753403321 996 $aHistory of linguistics 2008$94019094 997 $aUNINA
