Ch 4

Three scientific revolutions in the study of language and the emergence of dualism in the study of the sounds of language
1. The positivist codification of “historical linguistics”
a. Descriptive phonetics
b. Experimental phonetics
2. The behaviorist codification of “structural linguistics”
a. Phonology
b. Phonetics
3. The mentalist codification of “generative linguistics”
Phonology was incorporated into the grammar
Two attempts to reconcile phonetics and phonology
1. Laboratory phonology
Phonology-going-into-the-lab
Bridges the phonetics-phonology schism
2. Experimental phonology
Phonology–coming-out-of-the-lab
a. Has the elucidation of speech communication as its goal
b. Subordinates all phonological categories and phonetic measurements to the relevance for communicative functions
