Linguistics is a subject which came to the fore only in the 1960s.
It is founded on a fallacy. Linguistics claims to be 'the
scientific study of language', but language behaviour is too
open-ended and creative to be treated by the methods of science. In
consequence, linguistic theories systematically distort the nature
of language, and present a misleading picture of our human nature.
Geoffrey Sampson shows how various traditions of linguistics, and
their accounts of different aspects of language, are all infected
by the delusion of scientism. And he offers positive examples of
how language can be studied insightfully, once the scientistic
delusion is given up.
