Pieter A M Seuren

From Whorf to Montague

Explorations in the Theory of Language

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the relations between language, the world, and the mind. Pieter Seuren argues that language requires a theory with abstract principles and that grammars are neither autonomous nor independent of meaning but mediate between propositionally structured thoughts and systems, such as speech, for the production of utterances.
