Constituição discursiva das periodizações

Abstract

The history of linguistic thought is normally thought to consist of periods with more or less well-defined ruptures. What are the criteria that leal us to believe that a new begins, that we can identify a new school of thought. Is a new epoch defined by the progress of science itself, or rather by the author" claim to novelty. Following Sylvain Auroux, three components of the epistemic process, and hence for criteria to subdivide it into periods, are distinguished: pratical ( i.e.,political, historical and other conditions of research), social (i.e. interaction with the relevant group), and internal (i.e., ideas and the way in which these are classified). Based on findings from a larger research project, it is then discussed how these three sets of criteria might allow us to identify the French group of "Ideologues" as a novel school of linguistic thought.
