Correction: Passos (2007).


We would like to correct an error which occurred in the article called "Bloomfield and Skinner: Speech-Community, Functions of Language, and Scientific Activity" by Maria de Lourdes da F Passos on page 92 in issue 1.4-2.1 of JSLP-ABA. Specifically, two separate quotations were inadvertently joined into one. Below is the corrected version:

   [l]ogic and the verbal behavior of scientists would be more
   difficult. Russell, Bridgman, Carnap, Reichenbach--I had discussed
   all of them with Cuthbert Daniel, Ivor Richards, Quine, and Feigl,
   but their positions had not really coalesced.

   Bloomfield had been aware of the relevance of logical positivism.
   In 1930 he had written that linguistics had not yet reached the
   stage at which science can "win through to the understanding and
   control of human conduct," but in 1936 he noted that "the logicians
   of the Vienna Circle have independently reached the conclusion of
   physicalism: any scientifically meaningful statement reports a
   movement in space and time. This confirms the conclusion of A. P.
   Weiss and other American workers: The universe of science is a
   physical universe. This conclusion implies that statements about
   ideas are to be translated into statements about speech-forms."
