O POSITIVISMO NA TEORIA DESCRITIVISTA DE BLOOMFIELD

Abstract

This paper wants to present some general characteristics of the methodology and science conception in the Bloomfieldian structuralism – knew as descriptivism too – that are founded totally or partially in the August Comte’s positivist philosophy. Among theses characteristics, we can highlight the strict observation and description of the facts – social and linguistics – and the search for a accurate result of the description, able to predict the occurrence of the same facts in others situations -– social or linguistics.
