Written in an outstandingly clear and lively style, this 1969 book provokes its readers to rethink issues they may have regarded as long since settled.

First published in 1976, this book presents a view of language as a matter of systematic communicative behaviour.

Presents observations on and analyses of the purposes, methods, and implications of linguistic studies, the concerns and findings of recent work, and current problems and controversies.

ANDREA: sincerity, conceptual review, philosophy.
