What are the elements of expression? What are the origins, aims,
and functions of expression? An adequate theory of expression can
help us to address these questions and to recognize the diversity
of the many modes of expression (scientific, ethical, aesthetic,
religious, and sociocultural).
Alex Scott describes the interdependence of the modes of
expression, showing that a theory of expression can promote social
understanding by illuminating the nature of our interdependence as
individuals in society.
Expression theory, as described by Scott, is not merely a theory
of art. It is a theory of the ethics, aesthetics, psychology,
logic, language, and politics of expression. It is a theory that
enables us to examine in a more comprehensive way the question of
whether there are any logical limits to the expressive capacity of
language.
Expression theory is also a theory that enables us transcend
the dialectics of the said and the unsaid, the sayable and the
unsayable. It enables us to address the question of whether the
communicability of a person's thoughts or feelings is determined
solely by that person's communicative competence or whether there
are some kinds of thoughts and feelings that are truly ineffable
and incommunicable.
