Paperback. Brings thinking about semantics to bear on the question of how, and how much, language corresponds to thought. This title argues that lying is a function not of words but of sentences; it belongs to the semantic aspect of language.

Series: Literary Conjugations. Num Pages: 176 pages. BIC Classification: CFG; DSA; GTE. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 4522 x 3226 x 10. Weight in Grams: 146.
