2013 Reprint of 1927 American Edition. Full facsimile of the
original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
Revised second edition of this classic text. Although the original
text was published in 1923 it has been used as a textbook in many
fields including linguistics, philosophy, language, cognitive
science and most recently semantics and semiotics in general. The
book has been in print continuously since 1923. Richards sets forth
a contextual theory of Signs: that Words and Things are connected
through their occurrence together with things. The book would later
influence A.J. Ayer's "Language, Truth and Logic, " and both the
Richards-Ogden book and the Ayer book would, in turn, influence
Alec King and Martin Ketley in the writing of their book "The
Control of Language," which appeared in 1939. This book would in
turn influence C.S. Lewis in the writing of his defense of natural
law and objective values, "The Abolition of Man (1943)." It is
accompanied by the two supplementary essays by Bronis aw Malinowski
and F. G. Crookshank.
