MAHECHA BERMUDEZ, Miguel Ángel. Modern linguistics: its (re)configuration through the different obJects of study. Forma funcion, Santaf, de Bogot, D.C. [online]. 2008, n.21, pp.107-133. ISSN 0120-338X.

This work is located within the field of Linguistic Historiography. The goal is to show the extra and interdisciplinary conditions that allow for the configuration of a particular object of study along with the evolution of the scientific communities. It will be demonstrated that current linguistics (cognitive linguistics) is the result of a long process of improvement of the object of study of general linguistics and that cognitive linguistics is not only a discipline but also an activity of the human brain.

Keywords : language; object of study; theoretical model; cognitive paradigm; cognitive linguistics.
