Beyond the Letter (Routledge Revivals)

Viac o knihe

Exploring the pervasive features of ambiguity, vagueness, and metaphor in language, this philosophical study challenges the notion that these elements are merely obstacles to clear communication. First published in 1979, it systematically analyzes each feature and examines their interrelations, advocating for their significance in understanding language rather than viewing them as deviations from ideal forms. The work encourages a deeper appreciation of the complexities inherent in linguistic expression.
