Controversy and epistolary mediation in the construction of phonetic knowledge
Författare

Summary, in English
As scientific knowledge grows, it often
engenders controversy. The aim of the
particular case of controversy studied here, in
a series of letters exchanged between two
phoneticians, is to capture vacillations of a
discipline (phonetics) and its “actants”
(phoneticians and their equipment), described
at a key moment in the history of the discipline
(an historical “turning point”), i.e. when
phonetic knowledge was still governed by what
one might call a “scientific regime of
uncertainty”.
