Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores how language operates as a system of rules, both descriptive and causal. It examines the varying nature of these rules by comparing them to other sets of rules, particularly the laws that govern the natural world. The author argues that the rules of language are fundamentally volitional, rather than mechanical, and that they are thus subject to a different kind of logic than the laws of nature. The book also delves into the significance of homogeneity in language use, discussing the variety of factors that can both promote and inhibit the development of uniform habits, and explores several ways in which homogeneity is prevented in practical use. A fascinating overview of the historical and philosophical aspects of language usage, this book will captivate anyone with an interest in linguistics, the evolution of language, and the relationship between language and thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331987161_0
