Emmon Bach, Structure and Texture: Toward an Understanding of Real Languages. Paper presented at WECOL 2002, UBC.
bq. About: the tensions between the inner and outer view of R-languages (”real languages”), the language-centered and theory-centered study of languages, the (often foreign) linguist and the (sometimes linguist) native speaker, description and theory, a language as a set of choices and extensions of universal grammar and as a concrete realization in a particular culture and history. The materials for this paper are drawn mostly from First Nations languages, especially those of the Pacific Northwest.
