J.R. Searle on Competence - Dictionary of Arguments
VIII 404 Competence/performance/Chomsky: thesis: performance is just the tip of the iceberg of competence. VIII 437 SearleVsChomsky: the distinction is misled: he assumes that a theory of speech acts must be rather a theory of performance than one of competence - r does not see that competence is ultimately performance competence. ChomskyVsSpeech Act Theory: Chomsky suspects behaviorism behind it. >Behaviorism. SearleVs: this is not true, because Speech Act Theory involves intention. >Speech act theory. VIII 409/10 Chomsky: new: the object of study is language skills - old: we have indiscriminate sets of sentences, classifications. ChomskyVsStructuralism: a theory must be able to explain which chains represent sentences and which do not. VIII 414 SearleVsChomsky: it is not clear how the grammatical theory provides the knowledge of the speaker. >Transformational grammar._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
