Synopsis

This book, written in the form of a conversation between a student of educational theory and a student of linguistics, brings out the relationship between talking and thinking. Their discussion can be divided into three parts: the Saussurean theory of signs seen within different approaches to meaning; the implications of sign theory in accordance with what thinking implies in specific communities; and the way in which point of view can alter meaning within a particular community.
