Short description:
Explores assumptions in western theories of language and linguistics, highlighting the pivotal role of the language myth in the history of western culture.
MoreLong description:
The basic claim of this book is that for 2000 years and more the western tradition has relied on two very dubious assumptions about human communication: that each national language is a unique code and that linguistic communication consists in the utilization of such codes to transfer messages from mind to mind.
