About this book
The objective of this book is to better acquaint English-speaking linguistics with a corpus of texts hitherto untranslated, containing the cognitive-based research in formal linguistics of one of the most important theoreticians in the field: Antoine Culioli (b. 1924). Culioli's viewpoint is grounded in Emile Benveniste's (1902-1976) revolutionary answer to Saussure's opposition between competence (langue) and performance (parole) captured in the idea of énonciation, in which the relationship between an individual and a language is one of appropriation. The translation has been prepared to provide the reader with as obstacle-free a path as one can clear to a theory that requires, and indeed commands, a very close, attentive reading. As an additional aid to understand Culioli's argument, footnotes throughout the work show similarities and differences with the work of the cognitive linguist Ronald W. Langacker.
Reviews
Prof. Dr. Thomas Bearth, University of Zürich, Switzerland:
[...] a remarkable potential for theoretical innovation coupled with an equally remarkable potential for analytical extrapolation, deriving its strength from a rare spirit of intellectual honesty combined with untiring attention to the fine detail of natural language data in the contexts of everyday usage.
