Do you actually think Linguistics is only about language translation?

Do you actually think Linguistics is only about language translation?
- AlbertCory 4y ago> Do you actually think... No, I don't, but a working translation is proof that the theory does understand human language as it's actually used. Or in this case, that it doesn't.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoAnd is it your view that not having the field's equivalent of a theory of everything makes that field useless and without applications?
- AlbertCory 4y agoNice strawman. My view is: if you have a theory, it should be falsifiable. If your "theory" isn't, then it's a religion.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoFascinating. Is linguistics a religion, in your view?
- AlbertCory 4y agoMaybe try saying something original, instead of putting words in my mouth.
