This book explores the reflexivity of language both from the
perspective of the lay speaker and the linguistic analyst.
Linguistic inquiry is conditional upon linguistic reflexivity, but
so is language. Without linguistic reflexivity, we would not be
able to make sense of everyday linguistic communication, and the
idea of a language would not be conceivable. Not even fundamental
notions such as words or meaning would exist. Linguistic
reflexivity is a feature of the communication process, and it
essentially depends on situated participants and time. It is a
defining characteristic of the human language but despite its
obvious importance, it is not very well understood theoretically,
and it is strangely under-researched empirically. Throughout
history and in modern linguistics, it has mostly either been taken
for granted, misconstrued, or ignored. Only integrational
linguistics fully recognizes its specifically linguistic
implications. However, integrational linguistics does not provide
the necessary methodological basis for investigating linguistic
phenomena empirically. This catch-22 situation means that the goal
of the book is twofold: one part is to explore the reflexivity of
language theoretically, and the other part is to propose an applied
integrational linguistics and to implement this proposal in
practice.
