Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Texas at Austin, 2000.

Combining linguistics, rhetoric, and the cultural study of science, this dissertation argues that constitutive, yet overlooked, elements of linguists' representational practices are fundamental to the scientific study of language. The project is motivated by a paradox: linguists assert that they studied only speech and spoken language and exclude written language from the scope of their inquiry, but a quick glance at publications, lectures, and classes demonstrates their reliance on graphic, textual representations of language, making clear that some forms of writing do "count" as language for disciplinary purposes. It is this disciplinary convention, imposed on a universe of graphic practices but shifting through time, which makes possible the study of speech, spoken language, speakers and speech communities. At the same time, this boundary between privileged and unprivileged representations shifts, often more than standard accounts of the history of the discipline generally leads us to believe.

520 $a Combining linguistics, rhetoric, and the cultural study of science, this dissertation argues that constitutive, yet overlooked, elements of linguists' representational practices are fundamental to the scientific study of language. The project is motivated by a paradox: linguists assert that they studied only speech and spoken language and exclude written language from the scope of their inquiry, but a quick glance at publications, lectures, and classes demonstrates their reliance on graphic, textual representations of language, making clear that some forms of writing do "count" as language for disciplinary purposes. It is this disciplinary convention, imposed on a universe of graphic practices but shifting through time, which makes possible the study of speech, spoken language, speakers and speech communities. At the same time, this boundary between privileged and unprivileged representations shifts, often more than standard accounts of the history of the discipline generally leads us to believe.
520 $a By showing the rhetorical resources in some landmark theoretical texts (among them Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics , Noam Chomsky and Morris Halle's The Sound Pattern of English , and Kenneth Pike's Phonemics) by which linguists distinguish among the marks on paper that they consider to be persuasive, objective, and scientifically valid and those that are not, the project demonstrates how rhetorical contingencies shape disciplinary knowledge. It reinvigorates the possibility of conversations between linguists and other human scientists by providing a terminology which circumvents vexed terms such as "writing" and "language." It provides linguists with a historical basis for new moves towards disciplinary reflexivity. Finally, it provides a theoretical framework for studying the construction of both disciplinary and public knowledge about language and the roles that representations by experts and non-experts play.
