Autor Keith Allan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2010
Examines the re-ascendancy of hypothetico-deductive theory over the inductivist theories of the early 20th century, concluding that both approaches are necessary for the proper modelling of language in the 21st century and beyond. This work traces the history of semantics and pragmatics since the earliest times.
