Revolution in Linguistics

Revolution in linguistics refers to significant shifts in how language is studied and understood. It often involves adopting new theories, methods, or perspectives that challenge traditional ideas. For example, the "Structuralist Revolution" focused on analyzing language as a system of interrelated parts, while later "Generative Grammar" emphasized how humans produce and understand sentences. These revolutions reshape the field by changing what questions are asked and how researchers interpret language, leading to deeper insights into its structure, function, and cognitive aspects. Such shifts drive progress and new ways of understanding human communication.
