Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis examines the structural limits of human language as a medium for conveying meaning.In A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis, Bry Willis examines the structural limits of human language as a medium for conveying meaning. Against the widespread assumption that clearer definitions, better explanations, or more information inevitably improve understanding, this book argues the opposite: as conceptual complexity increases, communicative effectiveness declines.Language performs reliably when anchored to concrete reference - objects, actions, shared environments. But as discourse moves toward abstraction, moral concepts, or subjective experience, shared meaning thins. Precision accumulates. Understanding stalls.Drawing on philosophy of language, epistemology, and cognitive theory, Willis maps where and why linguistic systems break down-not due to ambiguity, but due to misplaced confidence in what language can bear. The book challenges Enlightenment-era assumptions about rational clarity, objectivity, and the idea that meaning can always be stabilised through refinement.This is not a manifesto for silence, nor a call to abandon language altogether. It is a diagnostic work: a cartography of breakdown. It clarifies the boundaries beyond which linguistic expression becomes unreliable, and why alternative modes-gesture, mathematics, art, ritual, or silence-sometimes succeed where words cannot.A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis is written for readers interested in philosophy of language, epistemology, communication, and the limits of rational explanation. It does not offer solutions. It offers a clearer view of the problem-and of the costs of continuing to pretend it has already been solved.…
