Abstract
Description
El presente texto se
configura como una presentación de
las ideas plasmadas en el libro
Lingüística Generativa: desde los estudios
teóricos a las reflexiones histórico–filosóficas
de reciente publicación.
Los artículos que conforman la primera
parte del libro se concentran en
diferentes aspectos de la relación entre
teoría lingüística y hechos de la lengua.
Esta modalidad tiene como
consecuencia destacar que la teoría se
construye en relación con la empiria y
que esta, en más de una ocasión,
retorna al ámbito de aquella y la orienta
hacia algún reajuste o revisión. Sobre
esta base, los artículos que reseñamos
en este trabajo, elaborados en el marco
de la gramática generativa, tienen como
eje un conjunto de tópicos, entre los
que se destaca el rol de las categorías
funcionales y de las categorías léxicas,
la validez categorial del adjetivo, la
formación de verbos deadjetivales, y la
interpretación oracional / transoracional. La originalidad de los
trabajos reside en las perspectivas
desde las cuales se plantean los temas,
que quedan claramente expresadas en
las preguntas que en la reseña de cada
artículo hemos destacado.
La segunda parte abarca un
conjunto de artículos que se centran en
temáticas epistemológicas y lógicosemánticas en el marco del enfoque
generativista. También se suma en este
apartado un enfoque histórico, que
permite reconstruir cambios operados
en diversas categorías, como la de
“parámetros” desde su formulación en
la Teoría de Rección y Ligamiento
hasta su concepción en el
Minimalismo; conceptos claves como
Gramática Universal en sus diversas
formulaciones en el desarrollo de la
lingüística chomskiana; o cambios que
se registran acerca de la relación entre
lenguaje y pensamiento en el actual
Programa Minimalista y su orientación
biolingüística. La reseña que presentamos tiene como finalidad no
ahondar en detalles en torno al
contenido sustantivo de estos cuatro
trabajos sino en pensar cuáles son los
ejes, tópicos y conceptos teóricos
claves del programa de investigación
generativo que los atraviesan, en un
intento de reflexionar en torno a la
posibilidad de tender lazos o puentes
entre ellos con el objetivo de “ponerlos
en diálogo”.
The present text is configured as a presentation of the ideas found in the book: Generative Linguistics: from theoretical studies to the historical-philosophical reflections recently published. The articles included in the first part of the book concentrate in some aspects of the relation between linguistic theory and facts of language. This mode lays emphasis on the idea that theory is constructed in relation to the empiric phenomenon and, on more than one occasion, the latter returns to the scope of the former and directs it towards some adjustment or revision. On this basis, the articles reviewed in the present paper are elaborated in the framework of Generative Grammar, and they consist of a set of topics such as the role of functional and lexical categories, the categorial validity of the adjective, the formation of de-adjetival verbs and sentential/transentential interpretation. The originality of these works resides in the perspectives from which these topics are considered, that are clearly expressed in the questions highlighted in the review of each article. The second part comprises a set of articles that focus on epistemological subjects and logical-semantic topics in the framework of the generative approach. This section also adds a historical approach, which allows us to reconstruct changes in various categories, such as "parameters" since its formulation in Government and Binding Theory until its conception in Linguistic Minimalism; as well as key concepts as Universal Grammar in its various proposals in the development of Chomskyan Linguistics; or changes that have taken place in the relationship between language and thought in the current Minimalist Program and its biolinguistic approach. The present review has as its aim not to delve into details related to the substantial content of these four works but to consider which are the key core ideas, topics and theoretical concepts of the Generative Grammar Research Program that are common to the four of them, in an attempt to reflect upon the possibility of creating bonds or building a bridge among these works in order to “engage them in a dialogue”.
