1949J. R. Firth in Trans. Philol. Soc. 1948 151 The monosystemic analysis based on a paradigmatic technique of oppositions and phonemes with allophones has reached, even overstepped, its limits! The time has come to try fresh hypotheses of a polysystemic character... The phonological structure of the sentence and the words which comprise it are to be expressed as a plurality of systems of interrelated phonematic and prosodic categories. 1957Year's Work Eng. Stud. 1955 28/2 It remains a matter for regret that Firth's polysystemic approach to language has not yet been fully and explicitly formulated, for it is clear..that it has much to offer us. 1964Language XL. 315 Firth..indicated that it is a property of language itself to be irreducibly multistructural and polysystemic. 1970B. M. H. Strang Hist. English 11 Language..is not mono- but polysystemic. 1973Archivum Linguisticum IV. 21 Such a three-choice system is inherent in all polysystemic approaches to linguistic structure.
So polysyˈstemically adv., in a polysystemic manner; ˌpolysysteˈmicity, polyˈsystemy, the fact or condition of being polysystemic.
1964Archivum Linguisticum XVI. 72 Martinet's recognition of the polysystemicity of language (instanced by the different vowel contrast systems in French final open and closed syllables..) puts him in some agreement on this point..with the Firthian position in linguistic analysis. 1964Language XL. 315 There is at least one instance..in which the appeal to linguistic polysystemy has the consequence of preventing the analyst from making an adequate descriptive statement. 1966T. Hill in C. E. Bazell In Memory of J. R. Firth 218 The examples will also illustrate the principle of polysystemicity as applied to different grammatical categories. 1973Archivum Linguisticum IV. 21 The choice of tone at each place in the structure can be considered polysystemically. |
