Originally published in 1970, this was Peter Herriot's first book.
In this objective, critical evaluation of a rapidly expanding
field, Professor Herriot examines language as skilled behaviour,
generative linguistics and psychology, behaviourist approaches to
meaning, language acquisition and impairment, and language and
thought. He stresses throughout the necessity for empirical
research and for experimental verification of hypotheses; he also
feels that language behaviour should be analysed in a comprehensive
form, placing emphasis not only on structural aspects but also on
the importance of meaning and context to any account of language.
Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
