Arte de hablar y pragmática
This paper deals with the work of the Spanish polygraph Eduardo Benot (1822-1907) and aims at an explanation of some the basic concepts of his grammatical theories. In particular, Benot's choice of concepts (system, sign, and illocutionary function) is discussed from a modern functional and pragmatic perspective without, however, erasing the linguistic tradition of philosophical and ideological thought that informed his argument. Benot perceives …
