About This Item
The University of Chicago Press, Chicago - 1970 hardcover, 6¼" x 9¼", with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode, etc. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket This book breaks once and for all with the linguist's traditional distrust of meaning, and approaches language deliberately from the semantic direction. The author takes semantic structure as the basis for his original theory of the nature of language, thereby departing from the main traditions of both structuralist and transformationist linguists. Mr Chafe illustrates the theory mostly from English, analyzing a large part of English semantic structure in a step-by-step manner. A specific theory of language is elaborated in which the well-formedness of sentences is established at the semantic level.
