Synopsis

John M. Ellis's Against Deconstruction was hailed as the definitive critique of that complex movement. In this new work, Ellis surmounts the impasse and confusion in theory of language to develop a strikingly original view arguing that categorization, not syntax, is the most fundamental aspect and process of language, and that neither anything else in language nor, indeed, its purposes can be properly understood until the nature of categorization has been grasped.
