Annotation

Wide-ranging treatise on language and linguistic theories, centered around the idea that people are not primarily language-users but, more importantly, language-makers. Language-making does not only involve the construction of systems of signs, but it is the essential process by which people construct a cultural identity for themselves and their communities.
