L’apport de la linguistique psychologique allemande à la psychologisation des sciences humaines russes. Le cas de la syntaxe psychologique

Abstract

This study deals with the conceptualisation of psychological syntax set forth in Russia from 1860 to 1930 under the influence of the German psychological linguistics, particularly in the works of H. Steinthal (1823-1899), G. von der Gabelentz (1807-1874) and H. Paul (1846-1921). This overview of the positions of Russian linguists on psychological syntax involves the analysis of the “evolutionary syntax” of A. Potebnja (1835-1891); the “energetic syntax” of D. Ovsianiko-Kulikovsky; the “formalist syntax” of F. Fortunatov (1848-1914); the “voluntarist syntax” of A. Peshkovsky [Peškovskij] (1878-1933); and the “communicative syntax” of A. Shakhmatov [Šakhmatov] (1864-1920).
