More about the book
A growing skepticism among linguists and psycholinguists highlights concerns about the complexity and relevance of current theories and models. Many feel that the sophistication of these frameworks has reached a point where it risks becoming impractical. The increasing number of both macro and microsystems suggests a trend toward arbitrary theorizing, revealing a disconnect between linguistic theory and the actual realities of language. This discomfort, though difficult to articulate, reflects a broader malaise within the field as it grapples with its original goals and progress.
