| Sumario: | Verbal Behavior by B.F. Skinner, represents a systematic extrapolation of the conceptsand principles of operant conditioning to account for language as behavior. I examine thelogic and conceptual deficiencies of Skinners formulation, based upon the analysis of alimited number of problems: a) the definition of verbal behavior, b) the selection of theword as the dominant unit of analysis, c) the morphological nature of the taxonomy ofverbal behavior, d) the lack of systematicness of such classification, e) the establishmentof discriminated verbal operants, and f) the logical and functional distinction between themand, the tact, and the intraverbal. It is stressed the importance of theoretical and conceptualanalyses for scientific progress. |
