But these were means to achieving literary, aesthetic, and political authority indeed, to...

Indeed, Granger sees linguistic theory as expressing a paradigm for scientific theorizing, which research in other social sciences should adopt.

Now, 'structuralism' is a 'trendy' term no less in Anglophone methodology than in Francophone...
