The renaissance of corpus linguistics and promising developments in
experimental linguistic techniques in recent years have led to a
remarkable revival of interest in issues of the empirical base of
linguistic theory in general, and the status of different kinds of
linguistic evidence in particular. Consensus is growing (a) that
even so-called primary data (from introspection as well as
authentic language production) are inherently complex performance
data only indirectly reflecting the subject of linguistic theory,
(b) that for an appropriate foundation of linguistic theories
evidence from different sources such as introspective data, corpus
data, data from (psycho-)linguistic experiments, historical and
diachronic data, typological data, neurolinguistic data and
language learning data are not only welcome but also often
necessary. It is in particular by contrasting evidence from
different sources with respect to particular research questions
that we may gain a deeper understanding of the status and quality
of the individual types of linguistic evidence on the one hand, and
of their mutual relationship and respective weight on the other.
The present volume is a collection of (selected) papers presented
at the conference on 'Linguistic Evidence' in Tubingen 2004, which
was explicitly devoted to the above issues. All of them address
these issues in relation to specific linguistic research problems,
thereby helping to establish a better understanding of the nature
of linguistic evidence in particularly insightful ways.
