About this title

Synopsis

This book is a scholarly work delving into the structure of the language, placing it in a historical context and exploring its nature and imperfections. The author posits that the philosophy of human thought has become a dead-end, an alchemy of sorts, and suggests that a study of language is the key to unlocking it. This book is separated by chapters, with the first serving as an introduction to signs and their analysis. The author then goes on to discuss verbs, their use, and their nature. Minor verbs, which are what grammarians refer to as prepositions, are then analyzed in-depth. The book concludes with a discussion of the nature of connectives like conjunctions, considering their role in creating meaning.
