Significs And Language - Victoria Welby - Bog

""Significs And Language: The Articulate Form Of Our Expressive And Interpretative Resources"" is a book written by Victoria Welby and published in 1911. The book explores the relationship between language and meaning, and argues that the way we use language reflects our understanding of the world around us. Welby introduces the concept of ""significs"" as a way of understanding how language works, and argues that it is not simply a matter of words and their definitions, but also of the context in which they are used. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the theory of significs and the second part applying it to various areas of language use, including poetry, rhetoric, and philosophy. Throughout the book, Welby emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuances of language and the ways in which it can be used to express and interpret meaning. The book is considered a landmark in the field of linguistics and has had a significant influence on subsequent work in the area of semantics and pragmatics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
