Reid on the priority of natural language
Canadian Journal of Philosophy 41 (S1):214-223 (2011)
Abstract
Thomas Reid distinguished between natural and artificial language and argued that natural language has a very specific sort of priority over artificial language. This paper critically interprets Reid's discussion, extracts a Reidian explanatory argument for the priority of natural language, and places Reid's thought in the broad tradition of Cartesian linguistics.Author's Profile
