Annotation

Wide-ranging discussion of problems in general linguistics. A number of sections show the influence of British analytical philosophy, especially speech act theory; in one of those, B. proposes a class of 'delocutive verbs', i.e. verbs deriving from locutions (e.g. Latin 'salutare', English 'to okay').
