J. (2016). On categorization : stick to the facts of the languages. Linguistic Typology, 20(2), 365-375. doi:10.1515/lingty-2016-0011 | Journal: | Linguistic Typology | Abstract: | This paper argues that in doing both description and comparison we should work inductively, staying true to the facts of the languages as manifested in natural data, and not resort to abstractions that lead to classifying languages or constructions in a way that ignores the actual facts of the languages. A non-Structuralist alternative view of communication and typological description is also presented. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/145435 | ISSN: | 1430-0532 | DOI: | 10.1515/lingty-2016-0011 | Rights: | © 2016 De Gruyter Mouton.
