Landmarks in Linguistic Thought II: The Western Tradition in the Twentieth Century (Routledge History of Linguistic Thought)

Landmarks in Linguistic Thought Volume II introduces key thinkers of twentieth-century linguistics. Each of the fifteen chapters focuses on a different thinker or theorist-Austin, Chomsky, Derrida, Firth, Goffman, Harris, Jakobson, Labov, Orwell, Sapir, Whorff, and Wittgenstein-and includes extracts from their work. Through these figures, the major linguistic issues and themes of the last century are introduced.
