%X Fins a la fi del segle xii, la gram¨¤tica fou una de les arts del trivi (artes sermocinales), la que ensenyava a parlar b¨¦ i a escriure b¨¦, seguint el model dels cl¨¤ssics i la preceptiva de Donat i de Prisci¨¤. Per¨° en els segles posteriors una altra ars sermocinalis, la dial¨¨ctica, comen ¨¤ a envair progressivament el camp de la gram¨¤tica. A difer¨¨ncia de Pere H¨¨lias que encara disting¨ª entre aquestes dues arts, Pere Abelard fress¨¤ el cam¨ª cap a una teoria general del llenguatge, gramatical i epistemol¨°gica ensems. Aquest inter¨¨s a concebre el llenguatge com una teoria general del signe ling¨¹¨ªstic fou recollit i sistematitzat per una escola de gram¨¤tics, anomenats modistes, que al llarg d¡¯un segle ¡ªde mitjan segle xiii a mitjan segle xiv¡ª maldaren per elaborar una teoria del llenguatge (scientia sermocinalis) que partia del pressup¨°sit que la llengua reflecteix les estructures de pensament alhora que recull les estructures de la realitat. Els modistes, d¡¯acord amb l¡¯aristotelisme escol¨¤stic, sostenien que les coses, en quant existents, posseeixen unes propietats o unes maneres d¡¯¨¦sser (modi essendi) que s¨®n copsades per la ment, a trav¨¦s d¡¯unes formes innates de comprensi¨® (modi intelligendi), al seu torn expressades per les formes universals del llenguatge (modi significandi). Until the end of the 12th century, grammar was one of the trivium (artes sermocinales), which taught one to speak and write properly following the model of the classics and the precepts of Donatus and Priscian. However, in subsequent centuries another ars sermocinalis, dialectic, gradually began to invade the field of grammar. Unlike Pere H¨¨lias, who still distinguished between these two arts, Peter Abelard steered the pathway towards a general theory of language which was both grammatical and epistemological. This interest in conceiving of language as a general theory of the linguistic sign was captured and systematised by a school of grammarians called the Modistae, who over the course of a century¡ªfrom the mid-13th to the mid-14th¡ªstrove to develop a theory of language (scientia sermocinalis) that was based on the assumption that language reflects the structures of thinking while also reflecting the structures of reality. In accordance with scholastic Aristotelianism, the Modistae upheld that because they exist, things possess certain properties or ways of being (modi essendi) that are captured by the mind through innate forms of comprehension (modi intelligendi), which are in turn expressed by the universal forms of language (modi significandi).
