In Meaning and Structure, Peregrin argues that recent and
contemporary (post)analytic philosophy, as developed by Quine,
Davidson, Sellars and their followers, is largely structuralistic
in the very sense in which structuralism was originally tabled by
Ferdinand de Saussure. The author reconstructs de Saussure's view
of language, linking it to modern formal logic and mathematics, and
reveals close analogies between its constitutive principles and the
principles informing the holistic and neopragmatistic view of
language put forward by Quine and his followers. Peregrin also
indicates how this view of language can be made compatible with
what is usually called 'formal semantics'. Drawing on both the
Saussurean tradition and recent developments in analytic philosophy
of language, this book offers a unique study of the ways in which
the concept of meaning can be seen as consisting in the concept of
structure.
