Language and Human Understanding - David Braine - Bog

"A tour de force. At nearly 800 pages, it ranges over a vast terrain of issues about the nature of language. Braine presents a sustained analysis and critique of much contemporary philosophy of language...This book's breadth and depth of material covered makes professionals the only appropriate audience."-ChoiceThis vast, inspiring undertaking is nothing if not utopian. At the same time, it has much to offer anyone who wants more than atomistic analysis, and is prepared to think through what modern linguistics is ultimately about."-Language and History
