Papers - Marxism and Structuralism

The Category of Interaction

(Original title: Kategória interakcie)

Igor Hrušovský

Filozofia, 32 (1977), 2, 166-172.

Jozef Ružička

Filozofia, 32 (1977), 2, 184-190.

Abstract

Structuralism made itself felt as the leading direction of research in Slovak linguistics in the 1930s and the 1940s.

There was no philosophical-theoretical trend in Slovak linguistic structuralism. There is no programme… Read more
