Catastrophe Theoretic Semantics
Author: Wolfgang Wildgen
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027280606
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
René Thom, the famous French mathematician and founder of catastrophe theory, considered linguistics an exemplary field for the application of his general morphology. It is surprising that physicists, chemists, biologists, psychologists and sociologists are all engaged in the field of catastrophe theory, but that there has been almost no echo from linguistics. Meanwhile linguistics has evolved in the direction of René Thom’s intuitions about an integrated science of language and it has become a necessary task to review, update and elaborate the proposals made by Thom and to embed them in the framework of modern semantic theory.
