The Force of Language illustrates how the philosophy of Language,
if differently conceived, can directly incorporate questions of
political thought and of emotionality, and offers the practical
case of defensive strategies against the abusive speech. This
follows a broad consideration of the inner voice or inner speech as
a test case for a new approach to language, in particular as a way
of radically rethinking the usual contrast between inner and outer
through furnishing an account of how we internalize speech. The
book's core offers a substantial critique of orthodox approaches to
the philosophy of language form Chomsky and others; drawing on
European political thought from Marx to Deleuze, it will move
beyond this inheritance to explain and demonstrate its fresh
conception of language at work.
In the field of philosophy of language, is there life beyond Chomsky? Deleuze's deep distrust for, and fascination with language provide a positive answer - nothing less than a brand new philosophy of language, where pragmatics replaces structural linguistics, and where the literary text and the concept of style have pride of place. This should be good news not only for philosophers, but for linguistics and literary critics as well.
Does interpretation have anything to do with truth? This new theory of interpretation denies this, yet it argues that some interpretations are false and some are just. These theses are justified through a pragmatic model of interpretation as a language-game involving five participants: an author, a text, a reader, a language, and an encyclopedia. The model claims to provide an account of both literary interpretation and face-to-face dialogue. The central intuition is that authorial intention is radically separated from textual meaning and that consequently, the reader's role is one of necessary imposture.

Why is it that all interpretations are possible, and none is true?
That some interpretations are just, but some are false? Lecercle
draws on the resources of pragmatics, literary theory and the
philosophy of language to propose a new theory of literary, but
also of face to face, dialogue that charts the interaction between
the five participants in the fields of dialogue and/or
interpretation: author, reader, text, language and encyclopaedia.
Interpretation is taken through its four stages, from glossing and
enigma solving to translation and intervention.
