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.
Wittgenstein has written a great number of remarks relevant to
aesthetical issues: he has questioned the relation between
aesthetics and psychology as well as the status of our norms of
judgment; he has drawn philosophers' attention to such topics as
aspect-seeing and aspect-dawning, and has brought insights into the
nature of our aesthetic reactions. The examination of this wide
range of topics is far from being completed, and the purpose of
this book is to contribute to such completion. It gathers both
papers discussing some of Wittgenstein's most provocative and
intriguing statements on aesthetics, and papers bringing out their
implications for art critic and art history, as well as their
significance to epistemology and to the study of human mind.
