Description

Explore a profound investigation into the mechanics of communication with Routledge Revivals: The Violence of Language. Originally published in 1990, this academic work challenges traditional linguistic theories. It examines how theories of language often construct their objects by separating relevant phenomena from irrelevant ones, effectively excluding a vital portion of human expression. This book introduces a theory of the remainder, focusing on the untidy and creative aspects of language use. This remainder represents the essence of poetry and metaphor, elements that resist complete formalization but are necessary for a true account of how we communicate. By addressing whether language itself or the speaker is the primary agent, the text provides a deep analysis of the nature of speech. Ideal for students and scholars interested in linguistics, philosophy, and the study of speech, this Routledge publication offers a unique perspective on how all people speak and how language functions beyond strict formal rules.
