Abstract

This rejoinder identifies a range of flaws in Schmid and Fiedler's (1999) analysis and critique of Edwards and Potter (1993), and highlights a range of unresolved problems with the `Linguistic Category Model' of attribution. Schmid and Fiedler apply parsimony in an inappropriate manner; they confuse linguistic analysis and argumentative critique. Two illustrative analyses highlight the distinction between grammatical and attributional agency, and thereby the Linguistic Category Model's insufficiency as an account of attribution when compared to the discursive approach.
