This book proposes a comprehensive discussion of the issue of
linguistic feeling, the subject’s metalinguistic capacity to
intuitively apprehend the normative – lexical, syntactic,
morphological, phonological… – dimensions of a definite
language he or she is acquainted with. The volume’s twelve
contributions aim to revisit a concept that, through a fluctuating
terminology (“Sprachgefühl,” “sentiment de la langue,”
“linguistic intuitions,” etc.), had developed, since the late
18th century, within a variety of cultural contexts and research
traditions, and whose theoretical, epistemological, and historical
ins and outs had not been systematically explored so far. Beginning
with a long opening chapter, the book consists of two parts, one
tracing the multifaceted approaches to linguistic feeling from
Herder to Wittgenstein, and one offering a representative overview
of the debates about the issue at stake in current linguistics and
philosophy, while addressing the question of the place of
metacognition, normativity, and affectivity in language processes.
