Władysław Zabrocki - Research

From Department of Applied Logic

In his writings, Dr. Zabrocki was primarily concerned with a methodological reconstruction of the explanation procedure as conducted in the subsequent versions of the generativist paradigm. He argued that in the newer versions of the generativist theory causal explanation has been replaced by a functional one.

The post doctoral dissertation that Dr. Zabrocki is preparing is concerned with a reconstruction of the directives connected to psychological or sociological understanding of the subject of linguistic research. The author concentrates on three paradigms of linguistic thought: historical-comparative, structuralist and generativist.
