LANGUAGES: WORDS AND SYMBOLS
FOR THINKING
Hardly any field of techniques for thinking is more fascinating than language. The following list of references, of course, is short; it is meant chiefly as an introduction pointing out a number of different paths into the field of language and languages. Such topics as the following are introduced by the references in this list:
- The origin of languages and alphabets.
- The languages of the world, and speech communities.
- The comparison of words and structure from language to language.
- The significance of grammar and syntax.
- The problem of clear meanings.
- Writing and speaking that is easy to understand.
