Apuntes teórico-metodológicos para el estudio tipológico del sistema de entonación de Madrid y La Habana desde la Teoría de la Complejidad

Abstract

It is known that language is a complex dynamic non-linear system (CDS). The perspective of the system of language and of intonation from the Complexity Theory involves rethinking theoretical and methodological positions that, without doing away with what has been done nor the results obtained from these perspectives, must be reformulated. In this article we will refer to the two most important aspects of the research process: the subject/object relationship (S-O) and the quantitative research methods/qualitative research methods relationship. We advocate for the inclusion of the research subject as an active member and part of the prosodic system of the community that is being studied (hermeneutic perspective of this epistemological dichotomy). We also advocate for the convergence of quantitative and qualitative methods. We propose considering the principle of omni-objectivity, which is understood as the concept that joins all the variables that make up the subjectivity of the research subject as included and pondered in their ethical and moral positions.
