"The present book is our latest contribution to the history and philosophy of linguistics. It continues a series of previously published monographs and papers which have attempted to discuss foundational problems of linguistic inquiry systematically.

Second, we have put forward a metatheoretical framework - called the p-model - capable of accounting for the foundational problems at hand and of analysing the subject matter of diverse case studies"--
