Annotation

This book deals with the nature and organization of language and its theoretical modelling. It is argued that there are three classical language theoretical missteps: the assumption (1) of the communicative goal of language, (2) of the fact that descriptive words are simpler than evaluative words, and (3) of the grouping purpose of language categories.
