Abstract

Abstract This article thematizes the language–practice divide which, in various forms, is posited by proponents of radical linguistics. In tracing the divide back to Saussure’s Course , an argument is made for its abolishment. More specifically, I unfold a criticism of Saussure’s account on the differences and similarities between the general phenomenon of language and the practice of a chess game, arguing that there are no grounds for assuming that the two differ in kind, let alone are essentially reducible to their synchronous elements. Finally, I make a move towards exploring the interplay of language and practice by stressing the enlanguaged nature of practical doings and how they emerge from basic cognitive attitudes.
激进语言学的激进化:论克服语言实践鸿沟的必要性
摘要本文对激进语言学支持者提出的各种形式的语言与实践的区别进行了主题化研究。在索绪尔的过程中,有一种主张废除这种划分的论点。更具体地说,我对索绪尔关于一般语言现象和象棋游戏实践之间的异同的描述进行了批评,认为没有理由假设两者在种类上不同,更不用说本质上可以归结为它们的同步元素了。最后,我通过强调实践行为的语言本质以及它们是如何从基本认知态度中产生的,来探索语言和实践的相互作用。
