Item description from seller

The authors argue against theories of language posited by theoretical linguists such as Saussure & Chomsky, and against philosophers of language influenced by Frege, Wittgenstein, Carnap, & Tarski; exposing their incoherence by deep examination of the evolution of their theories, and by analyzing their overly-ambitious contempory uses. Both authors were fellows of St John's College, Oxford. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured. Light wear to book, head of spine bumped, affecting the pages, too; jacket shows light edgewear, typical fading to spine & edges. Text clean; xiii, blank; 397 pages; index. Size: Octavo.
