Annotation

This essay deals with integrational linguistics, i.e. the application of integrationist principles to the study of language. The integrationist approach to language and communication was originally developed by a group of linguists at the University of Oxford during the 1980s, and continued internationally since then. Its relevance to pragmatics may best be regarded as hinging on the assumption that there is no clear-cut, universal distinction between the linguistic and the nonlinguistic, between “knowledge of a language” and “knowledge of the world”, etc.
