Description:
A discussion is presented on the communication that occurs among people by virtue of their use of human lang, focusing on the psychological aspect of linguistic communication. Two significant conceptual advances are discussed: (1) transformational generative grammar originated by N. Chomsky, & (2) the simulation of cognitive processes by computers, originally credited to A. M. Turing ("Computing Machinery and Intelligence," Mind, 1950, 59, 433-460). Chomsky describes the structure of lang, not its manner of production or interpretation in actual use. To a functionally oriented psychologist, the computer system seems a much more reasonable model for psychological explanations than does grammatical analysis, while to a structurally oriented linguist, the computer system seems, at least, inadequate. A larger philosophical issue is raised by the distinction between the two, concerning the place of knowledge in a theory of action. The tension & perplexity arise not from different interests in knowledge or action, so much as from differences between structural & functional theories. The complementarity between the theories of structural grammar & functional lang must be realized. G. Simpson.
