Linguistics.

1. Esp. in the terminology of H. L. Smith and G. L. Trager: that branch of linguistics which is concerned with the relation of language to other cultural systems. Also: those aspects of language which relate to other elements of a culture. Cf. microlinguistics n., prelinguistics n. Now rare.According to this view, a metalinguistic study is required for a comprehensive statement of the meanings of linguistic forms.

1949 G. L. Trager in Stud. in Linguistics: Occas. Papers i. 7 The full statement of the..relations between the language and any of the other cultural systems will contain all the ‘meanings’ of the linguistic forms, and will constitute the metalinguistics of that culture.

1953 C. E. Bazell Ling. Form viii. 98 The study of micro-criteria, whether phonetic or semantic, belongs to metalinguistics.

1967 C. L. Wrenn Word & Symbol 4 The rather programmatic ‘science’ of metalinguistics recognises the need to study language and culture in intimate relationship.

1987 Jrnl. Hist. Ideas 48 165 His [sc. Habermas's] objections to Gadamer suggest that he still aspires to a universalist system of social metaphysics, or metalinguistics, designed rather to answer old questions than to pose new ones.

1994 Ann. Rev. Anthropol. 23 42 Ethnographic accounts that closely examine the metalinguistics and etymologies of lamentation also reveal ways these genres are marked in relation to other speech or song forms.

2. The branch of linguistics that deals with metalanguages; the study of the methodology of linguistics.
