This work offers a new perspective on the work of Confucius, the
great reference of classical Chinese thought. In general,
relatively little work has been done on Confucius' linguistic
concerns, which nevertheless did have an impact in his time and
afterwards. The author starts from a sociolinguistic approach,
based mainly on the ethnography of communication, to analyze the
role played by language in Confucius' texts and its links with the
ethical program proposed therein. It is, therefore, a considerably
novel perspective which, moreover, allows us to cover a very
relevant number of interests. The pages of this work concern
sociolinguists, but also historians of linguistics, philosophers,
and cultural scientists in general. In short, it provides a
different vision of one of the great cultural references of
humanity.
