Compare and contrast the logical positivist to the natural language theorist.

Logical positivism is a theory that advocates the reduction of all existing knowledge to purely scientific data that can be verified by logic, experiment, or observation. It is based on the idea that all the theories that do not have scientific validation are useless because things that cannot be observed can neither be refuted nor confirmed. The natural language theorist, however, believes that even the vaguest philosophical problems could be solved if it weren’t for language misinterpretations.
