摘要
Common to social constructionists and cognitive linguists is a retreat from the ontological issues of subjective experience to a combination of pragmatism and nominalism. What's gained is escape from conundrums of subjective experience; what's lost is psychological realities and self-determination. The postmodern bonus offer is to join with others in checking our observations of actions and functions. Take the offer and you can show, but not own, agency. My argument is, 'That's not agency.'.
