First published in 1976, this book presents a view of language as a
matter of systematic communicative behaviour. Professor Bennett
discusses the problems involved in topics such as teleology, belief
and intention, form and content, meaning, convention, and syntactic
structure, whilst underlining the importance of behaviour in both
human and non-human forms of communication. For the major points of
reference in Bennett's discussions, a select bibliography is
included, which roots his thesis in a broader corpus of linguistic
and philosophical study. This book will be of interest to the
student and scholar as well as to the general enthusiast of the
philosophy of language.
