The philosophers and scholars of the Hellenistic world laid the
foundations upon which the Western tradition based analytical
grammar, linguistics, philosophy of language, and other disciplines
probing the nature and origin of human communication. Building on
the pioneering work of Plato and Aristotle, these thinkers
developed a wide range of theories about the nature and origin of
language which reflected broader philosophical commitments. In this
collection of nine essays, a team of distinguished scholars
examines the philosophies of language developed by, among others,
Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, the Stoics, and Lucretius. They probe
the early thinkers' philosophical adequacy and their impact on
later theorists. With discussions ranging from the Stoics on the
origin of language to the theories of language in the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries, the collection will be of interest to
students of philosophy and of language in the classical period and
beyond.
