Terrence W. Deacon on Syntagma - Dictionary of Arguments
I 304ff Syntagmatic/paradigmatic/Jakobson/Deacon: In 1956, Roman Jakobson assumed that the two aspects of the syntagma and paradigm, which were distinguished by him, correspond to two types of brain damage, namely the syntagmatic component damage to the frontal lobe and paradigmatic damage to the posterior lobe (parietal lobe)(1). Since then, many studies on brain damage have shown that the assumption is correct. Paradigmatic/Deacon: are e.g. replacement relations between words. These include metaphors, anaphora and pronouns. Words that have a paradigmatic relationship to each other do not appear together in speech, except in enumerations. >Metaphors, >Anaphora, >Pronouns. I 306 Syntagmatic: is the relation between words that influence each other in speech, such as nomina, verbs, adjectives or articles. >Nouns, >Verbs, >Adjectives, >Articles. (1) Jakobson, R. (1956): Two aspects of language and two types of aphasic disturbances. In R. Jakobson and M.
