Synopsis
The World and Language propounds the assumption that natural language is not linear. Linear languages are those in which an iteration of a sign is allowed. In contrast, in natural language-as it is assumed-an iteration of a term must have a different meaning than the initial term. Cogency of the notion of non-linearity is deemed to grow as its explanatory power is being revealed, though the idea of non-linearity itself does not seem to be contrary to common sense from the very beginning., The World and Language propounds the assumption that natural language is not linear.

Cogency of the notion of non-linearity is deemed to grow as its explanatory power is being revealed, though the idea of non-linearity itself does not seem to be contrary to common sense from the very beginning. Among the issues discussed in this book are the following: paradoxes; the concept of number; realism (as it should be understood within the concept); falsifiability, a peculiar aspect of the mind-body problem; universals; and other issues., The World and Language propounds the assumption that natural language is not linear.

- _***8 (70)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent packaging: the books were wrapped in two layers of thin white paper and placed inside a bubble wrap courier bag. Very fast overseas shipping: the order date was 17/10, and the parcel arrived on the 31st. Honest photos and descriptions. Recommended seller. 5 stars !
- l***u (12)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOverall buying from here was a fantastic experience! The book arrived at my door in two days, during a flash flood advisory. It was packaged in a grey plastic mailer, secured with extra tape so that the item stayed nice and dry. The book itself is exactly as stated: a fresh new copy. No witting or highlighting, no library stickers. Just a clean, intact copy. This was much cheaper than if had I bought from a major bookstore, so all in all I’m very pleased with my purchase here! Would recommend.
