Understanding I

Language and Thought

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

No words in English are shorter than "I" and few, if any, play a more fundamental role in language and thought. Jos¿uis Berm¿dez develops a model of how language-users understand sentences involving the first person pronoun "I". This model illuminates the unique psychological role that self-conscious thoughts play in action and thought.
