Abstract

" “ Prolegomena to a Theory of Language” , the main work of Louis Hjelmslev, is an account of his “ Glossematics” which is a complex formal theory about the nature of linguistic knowledge and the structure of human understanding in general. The current paper starts with a brief evaluation of a newly released Persian translation of this work; the problem triggering a hermeneutic interpretation of Hjelmslev’ s theory in the light of Kant’ s “ Pure Reason” in the second part of the current paper is a claim about the potentials of “ Glossematics” to be revived as an operational theory of linguistic epistemology in the current mainstream of Linguistics. I have shown that, like any other structural theory of human understanding, basing the “ necessity” of the formal propositions of “ Glossematics” on the notion of “ structure” is the theory’ s Achilles heel making this initially intended “ self-contained” theory change into a paradoxically “ transcendental” epistemology. This transcendence in turn, puts Glossematics in the same boat with Nativist epistemological schools, which are all vulnerable to similar challenges. In conclusion, Hjelmslev’ s theory of “ Glossematics” is shown to be another “ Objectivist” theory that is ruled out by the current findings in Cognitive Sciences.
