This book offers introductory entries on 80 ideas that have shaped
the study of language up to the present day. Entries are written by
experts in the fields of linguistics and the philosophy of language
to reflect the full range of approaches and modes of thought. Each
entry includes a brief description of the idea, an account of its
development, and its impact on the field of language study. The
book is written in an accessible style with clear descriptions of
technical terms, guides to further reading, and extensive
cross-referencing between entries. A useful additional feature of
this book is that it is cross-referenced throughout with Key
Thinkers in Linguistics and the Philosophy of Language (Edinburgh,
2005), revealing significant connections and continuities in the
two related disciplines. Ideas covered range from Sense Data,
Artificial Intelligence, and Logic, through Generative Semantics,
Cognitivism, and Conversation Analysis, to Political Correctness,
Deconstruction, and Corpora. Features: * The only single-volume
reference book to focus specifically on ideas from both linguistics
and the philosophy of language * Accessibly written for use at all
levels, including undergraduate, postgraduate, academic, and other
general readers in the fields of linguistics and the philosophy of
language * Extensively cross-referenced both within itself and with
Key Thinkers in Linguistics and the Philosophy of Language to
provide a unique reference resource.
