Description
This seminal work explores the foundations of meaning, examining what it is for marks or sounds to have meaning and why someone might mean something by producing them. Schiffer's theory addresses communication, speech acts, convention, and the meaning of linguistic items.
A new introduction brings his ideas up-to-date, situating them within recent developments in the field. This reissue provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of language and its role in shaping human thought.
