Key Ideas in Linguistics and the Philosophy of Language

Аннотация

The ideas described in this book have been developed in linguistics and the philosophy of language, as well as in some related disciplines such as mathematics, logic and psychology. They necessarily represent only a very small proportion of the long tradition of the serious study of language; we have chosen them because of their impact on current work in linguistics and the philosophy of language. These two disciplines are subdivided into many different branches. Linguistics, for example, includes work undertaken in semantics, pragmatics, phonology, syntax, sociolinguistics and many other fields.
