“Other sciences are provided with objects of study given in
advance, which are then examined from different points of view.
Nothing like that is the case in linguistics. Suppose someone
pronounces the French word nu (‘naked’). At first sight, one
might think this would be an example of an independently given
linguistic object. But more careful consideration reveals a series
of three or four quite different things, depending on the
viewpoint adopted. There is a sound, there is the expression of
an idea, there is a derivative of Latin nūdum, and so on. The
object is not given in advance of the viewpoint: far from it.
Rather, one might say that it is the viewpoint adopted which
creates the object.”
Saussure – Course in General Linguistics (p.23)

The Observer Paradox
The observer presence alters the naturality of
the observed situation.
Aristotle: Our comprehension and
understanding of the world is built upon our
own perception.
Sophists: The man is the measure of all
things.
How to deal with it?
?
RELATIVIZE
CONSIDER THE LIMITATIONS
KEEP IN MIND THAT SCIENCE IS
DONE UPON A METHOD
KEEP IN MIND THAT METHODS
DOES NOT REVEAL THE ABSOLUTE
TRUTH.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THE POINT OF
VIEW IS DETERMINED BY THE
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
What about
Psycholinguistics?
“Psycholinguistics is an interdisciplinary field
of study in which the goals are to
understand [and explain] how people acquire
language, how people use language to speak
and understand one another, and how
language is represented and processed in
the brain. Psycholinguistics is primarily a
sub-discipline of psychology and linguistics,
but it is also related to developmental
psychology, cognitive psychology,
neurolinguistics, and speech science.”

• Formal: It is an structured system;
• Biological: It is specifically human; language physiology
(visual, hearing, and vocal apparatuses, brain); evolution;
• Psychological: It is an abstract reality, intimately linked to
thought. It is a faculty of the mind.
(Human) Language: three aspects
• Formal: It is an structured system;
• Biological: It is specifically human; language physiology (visual,
hearing, and vocal apparatuses, brain); evolution;

  • 8. “Other sciences are provided with objects of study given in advance, which are then examined from different points of view. Nothing like that is the case in linguistics. Suppose someone pronounces the French word nu (‘naked’). At first sight, one might think this would be an example of an independently given linguistic object. But more careful consideration reveals a series of three or four quite different things, depending on the viewpoint adopted. There is a sound, there is the expression of an idea, there is a derivative of Latin nūdum, and so on. The object is not given in advance of the viewpoint: far from it. Rather, one might say that it is the viewpoint adopted which creates the object.” Saussure – Course in General Linguistics (p.23)

  • 12. The Observer Paradox The observer presence alters the naturality of the observed situation. Aristotle: Our comprehension and understanding of the world is built upon our own perception. Sophists: The man is the measure of all things. How to deal with it?

  • 14. RELATIVIZE CONSIDER THE LIMITATIONS KEEP IN MIND THAT SCIENCE IS DONE UPON A METHOD KEEP IN MIND THAT METHODS DOES NOT REVEAL THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE POINT OF VIEW IS DETERMINED BY THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
  • 16. “Psycholinguistics is an interdisciplinary field of study in which the goals are to understand [and explain] how people acquire language, how people use language to speak and understand one another, and how language is represented and processed in the brain. Psycholinguistics is primarily a sub-discipline of psychology and linguistics, but it is also related to developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, neurolinguistics, and speech science.” (FERNANDEZ & CAIRNS, 2011)
