This book proposes a comprehensive discussion of the issue of linguistic feeling, the subject's metalinguistic capacity to intuitively apprehend the normative - lexical, syntactic, morphological, phonological... - dimensions of a definite language he or she is acquainted with. The volume's twelve contributions aim to revisit a concept that, through a fluctuating terminology (Sprachgefühl, sentiment de la langue, linguistic intuitions, etc.), had developed, since the late 18th century, within a variety of cultural contexts and research traditions, and whose theoretical, epistemological, and historical ins and outs had not been systematically explored so far. Beginning with a long opening chapter, the book consists of two parts, one tracing the multifaceted approaches to linguistic feeling from Herder to Wittgenstein, and one offering a representative overview of the debates about the issue at stake in current linguistics and philosophy, while addressing the question of the place of metacognition, normativity, and affectivity in language processes.
