It is widely believed that inconsistency is one of the greatest
sins a scholar can commit. This issue is especially relevant in
linguistics due to the rich diversity of data types, exceptions to
the rules, counterexamples to the hypotheses, and background
assumptions which constantly come into conflict with methodological
principles. Bringing together ideas from linguistics and philosophy
of science, this groundbreaking book seeks to answer the following
questions: which kinds of inconsistency arise in linguistic
theorising? Under which conditions can inconsistencies be
tolerated? And how can inconsistencies be resolved? It is the first
study to develop a novel metatheoretical framework that accounts
for the emergence and the resolution of inconsistency in linguistic
theorising, and to reveal the strategies of inconsistency
resolution in theoretical linguistics. Supported by detailed case
studies, the findings of this metatheoretical analysis can be
applied to improve the effectiveness of the working linguist's
problem-solving activity.
