LINGUÍSTICA É CIÊNCIA DE VERDADE?

Is Linguistics a Real Science? Have you ever wondered if Linguistics is a science like Physics or Biology? In this video, we dive deep into this provocative question! We will explore everything from the structural foundations of Ferdinand de Saussure, through the theory of laryngeals in Indo-Europeanism, to the scientific methods used by linguists to formulate testable hypotheses about language. We also analyze the impact of Noam Chomsky, the proposal of Universal Grammar and the fascinating debate about the alignment of syntagmatic nuclei in generative linguistics. And of course, we do not leave aside the Brazilian critical perspective with Marcos Bagno and his vision of language, norms and power. If you are interested in language, science and how knowledge is constructed about what we speak every day, this video is for you. Topics covered: Linguistics and scientific method Saussure and the structure of language Theory of laryngeals and historical reconstruction Chomsky, innateness and universal grammar SVO, VSO and the order of syntagmas Sociolinguistic criticism with Marcos Bagno Linguistics as a formal, empirical and human science A complete content for those who want to understand how Linguistics works — for real!
