This book provides a refreshingly new perspective for investigating
linguistic texts, which foregrounds models of the human. It
presents a close reading of major linguistic theories in the
twentieth century with a focus on three main themes: linguistic
system and the individual speaker; social order; and linguistic
creativity. The examination of these three fundamental themes
concerning language and human nature, on the one hand, provides a
fine-textured exposition on the implicit and explicit models of
human nature endorsed by major theorists; on the other, it reveals
the methodological dilemmas faced by linguistics. In light of the
fact that the importance of considering posthumanist ideas is
increasingly being underscored today, both within and outside
linguistics, this focus on the human makes the book highly topical.
