LANGUAGE STRUCTURE AND INTERPERSONAL COMMONALITY,
Abstract
The present paper deals with two problems in the meta-theory of grammar. The first is concerned with applying a single set of theoretical assump tions and analytic methods to all levels of language structure. This may be called methodo logical unification of the structural theory of grammar. The second problem is concerned with utterances that do not fit the generalizations contained in a particular structural theory of grammar. These will be called deviant utterances. It will be proposed that the necessary raw materials for methodological unification already exist in current practices of language analysis, and that at least one kind of methodological unification is apparent when current analytic procedures are described in more generalized terms.
