Twentieth-century philosophy has been dominated by issues concerned
with language. These have left few areas of academic enquiry
untouched; an awareness of language matters to a discipline because
claims to knowledge can be made only by using language. However,
economists have only come to recognize its importance relatively
recently. Moreover whilst there has been much written on the
subject of economics and language in the last decade, this has been
dominated by the use of techniques borrowed from literary
criticism. Whilst these have provided many valuable insights, they
have tended to conceal the features of economics writing which
distinguish it from writing in other disciplines. "Economics and
Language" takes a broader view. Its approach is interdisciplinary,
and it includes contributions from economists, linguists and
literary theorists. It moves from chapters on the wider
methodological implications of language issues within economics, to
an analysis of how economic texts work. This ensures that
methodological discussion is related directly to the practices of
economics.
