What is a language? What do scientific grammars tell us about the
structure of individual languages and human language in general?
What kind of science is linguistics? These and other questions are
the subject of Ryan M. Nefdt's Language, Science, and Structure.
Linguistics presents a unique and challenging subject matter for
the philosophy of science. As a special science, its formalisation
and naturalisation inspired what many consider to be a scientific
revolution in the study of mind and language. Yet radical internal
theory change, multiple competing frameworks, and issues of
modelling and realism have largely gone unaddressed in the field.
Nefdt develops a structural realist perspective on the philosophy
of linguistics which aims to confront the aforementioned topics in
new ways while expanding the outlook toward new scientific
connections and novel philosophical insights. On this view,
languages are real patterns which emerge from complex biological
systems. Nefdt's exploration of this novel view will be especially
valuable to those working in formal and computational linguistics,
cognitive science, and the philosophies of science, mathematics,
and language.
