The London School of Linguistics
The London School of Linguistics is involved with the study of language in the descriptive plane, the distinguishing of structural and systemic concepts, and the social aspects of language.
The school's primary contribution to linguistics has been the situational theory of meaning in semantics and the prosodic analysis in phonology. The distinctive function is considered to be the primary function of a phoneme. The London School rejects the concepts of speech of the individual person; it is subject to terminological and methodological inaccuracy and proves in many aspects to be linguistics of speech and not language.
The London School of Linguistics had three representatives:
Henry Sweet (1845-1912)
Daniel Jones (1881-1967)
John Rupert Firth (1890-1960)
