ABSTRACT

Experimental Psychology is beginning to make contact with ethnology, linguistics and experimental phonetics. At scholarly meetings, such as those of the Philosophical Society, Messrs Brunot, Delacroix, G. Dumas, Pierre Janet, Lévy-Bruhl, Mauss, Meillet, Pernot, Piéron, Vendryes, exchange views on the same subject. Co-operative projects, such as the magisterial Course on Language and Thought taught during the last two years at the Sorbonne, draw together the conclusions of these specialists. It seems that the time has come to try to view certain complex problems in a less restrictive way.
