Description

The basic claim of this book is that for two thousand years and more the Western tradition has relied on two very dubious assumptions about human communication. One of these is that each national language is a unique code that specifies determinate forms, meanings and combinations of these utilized in everyday discourse. The other is that linguistic communication consists in the utilization of such codes to transfer messages from the mind of one individual to the mind of another. What emerges very clearly from this multi-disciplinary inquiry is that the language myth is not just a myth about language. It has many other ramifications. No other account of the history of Western culture can afford to ignore the importance of this underlying network of beliefs about how we communicate with one another and, in so doing, establish social units with distinctive identities and customary practices.
