A Synthetical-Generative Approach to Language

Hetzron, Robert

Linguistics, 138, 29-62, Oct 15 74

Most linguistic theory is analytic in that it begins with a complex unit and breaks it down into components. Criticisms of analytic linguistics are made, and a synthetic approach is proposed which begins with atomic components of language and rules for grouping them into more complex units. (RM)
