THE KUHNIAN ASPECTS OF THE
CHOMSKYAN SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM
Đorđe Vidanović
University of Niš
This paper analyzes Chomsky's system of grammatical description seeking
elements that might prove that his approach, started in 1957 with the
publication
of Syntactic Structures, actually marked a scientific "leap" in the
sense
that Thomas Kuhn described 'a scientific revolution'. The author
considers
the latest, level-free, developments in Chomsky's theory as similar to
his earlier work and analyzes the internal structure of his theory up
to
the appearance of the Government and Binding approach.
Key words: Chomsky, Kuhn, transformational-generative
grammar, scientific revolution, paradigm, empiricism, rationalism
KUNOVSKI ELEMENTI U NAUČNOJ
PARADIGMI
NOAMA ČOMSKOG
Ovaj rad bavi se analizom Čomskijeve paradigme pokušavajući da nađe
elemente
koji bi pokazali da se njegov pristup, započet 1957. godine, označen
pojavom
knjige Syntactic Structures, treba smatrati "paradigmatskim skokom" u
smislu
deskripcije koju je stvorio Tomas Kun kada je govorio o revolucijama u
nauci. Autor razmatra najnovije koncepte takvog, nehijerarhijskog,
razvoja
u teoriji Noama Čomskog, držeći da su oni slični njegovom ranijem radu.
Pored toga analizira se interna struktura njegove teorije sve do pojave
pristupa Upravljanja i vezivanja (government and binding).
Ključne reči: Čomski, Kun, transformaciono generativna
