Bloomfield was the main founder of the Linguistic Society Of America .
Bloomfield's thought was mainly characterized by its Behavioristic principles for the study of meaning, its insistence on formal procedures for the analysis of language data, as well as a general concern to provide linguistics with rigorous Scientific Methodology . Its pre-eminence decreased in the late 1950s and 1960s, after the emergence of Generative Grammar .
Bloomfield also began the genetic examination of the Algonquian Language family with his reconstruction of Proto-Algonquian; his seminal paper on the family remains a cornerstone of Algonquian historical linguistics today.
