المستخلص

We might conclude this paper by turning to Fries' evaluation of Bloomfield's contributions to the science of language. Fries (1961: 217-222) thinks that Bloomfield not only dealt with the internal matters of linguistics as a science, the fundamental matters of the nature and functioning of human language and the basic principles underlying scientifically sound methods of analysis and descriptive statements, but that he was also much more concerned with the boundaries of that science and its place in society.
