Item description from seller

Paperback, 124 pages, NOT ex-library. Book looks unread, clean, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Gentle rubbing to cover edges. Spine free of vertical creases. -- René Thom, the famous French mathematician and founder of catastrophe theory, considered linguistics an exemplary field for the application of his general morphology. It is surprising that physicists, chemists, biologists, psychologists and sociologists are all engaged in the field of catastrophe theory, but that there has been almost no echo from linguistics. Meanwhile linguistics has evolved in the direction of René Thom's intuitions about an integrated science of language and it has become a necessary task to review, update and elaborate the proposals made by Thom and to embed them in the framework of modern semantic theory. -- Contents: Introduction 1.
