Omschrijving
In rewriting the philosophy of grammar, Braine restores the dynamic conception of language, reuniting structure and communicative function. Grammar, typically through the verb, gives the sentence its ‘saying’ function, the verb being what brings the sentence to life, giving the sentence’s other elements their role and force.
A tour de force. At nearly 800 pages, it ranges over a vast terrain of issues about the nature of language. Braine presents a sustained analysis and critique of much contemporary philosophy of language…This book's breadth and depth of material covered makes professionals the only appropriate audience." - Choice
"This vast, inspiring undertaking is nothing if not utopian. At the same time, it has much to offer anyone who wants more than atomistic analysis, and is prepared to think through what modern linguistics is ultimately about." - Language and History
David Braine (1940-2017) was a British analytic philosopher with interests in analytic Philosophy of religion and Metaphysics, who sought to marry the techniques and insights of analytical philosophy and Phenomenology to the Metaphysics of classical Thomism.
