William Diver of Columbia University (1921-1995) critiqued the very
roots of traditional and contemporary linguistics and founded a
school of thought that aims for radical aposteriorism in accounting
for the distribution of linguistic forms in authentic text.
Grammatical and phonological analyses of Homeric Greek, Classical
Latin, and Modern English reveal language to be an instrument whose
structure is shaped by its communicative function and by the
peculiarly human characteristics of its users. Diver's foundational
works, many never before published, appear here newly edited and
annotated, with introductions by the editors. The volume presents
for the first time to a wide audience the depth and originality of
Diver's iconoclastic thought.
