It is generally accepted that language is primarily a means of
communication. But do we always mean what we say - must we mean
something when we talk? This book explores the other side of
language, where words are incoherent and meaning fails us. it
argues that this shadey side of language is more important in our
everyday speech than linguists and philosophers recognize.
Historically this other side of language known as has attracted
more attention in France than elsewhere. It is particularly
interesting because it brings together texts from a wide range of
fields, including fiction, poetry and linguistics. The author also
discusses the kind of linguistics that must be developed to deal
with such texts, a linguistics which makes use of psychoanalytic
knowledge. This tradition of writing has produced a major
philosopher, Gilles Deleuze. This book provides an introduction to
his work, an account of his original theory of meaning and an
analysis of the celebrated Anti-Oedipus, which takes delire as one
of its main themes.
