Kartoniert, 176 Seiten, 220mm x 150mm x 11mm, Sprache(n): eng Reading Ferdinand de Saussure¿s Course in General Linguistics one is struck by the extent to which his synchronic theory of language reflects a view of linguistic evolution as analogous to biological evolution. That seems particularly interesting for two reasons. First, linguists and biologists have enjoyed continuing empirical success, since the late twentieth century, in exploiting this analogy. Second, Saussure is usually identified with a view of language as something essentially arbitrary and conventional ¿ something distinctively human. By that account linguistic systems would seem to have little in common with natural evolutionary processes. The questions then arise: To what extent is Saussure¿s theory of language a theory that could underpin and explain the linguistic-biological analogy? To what extent should it be such a theory? And what does the analogy suggest about the philosophical appropriation of Saussure¿s theory? The answers make for a provocative and important re-reading of this seminal theorist.Michael Gilchrist lives in Wellington, New Zealand where he has worked for many years as a trade unionist, most recently in universities. He is currently writing his doctoral dissertation on the work of Alain Badiou. Versandkostenfreie Lieferung<
