Routledge Revivals: The Violence of Language (1990)

About Routledge Revivals: The Violence of Language (1990)

First published in 1990, this book argues that any theory of language constructs its ΓÇÿobjectΓÇÖ by separating ΓÇÿrelevantΓÇÖ from ΓÇÿirrelevantΓÇÖ phenomena ΓÇö excluding the latter. This leaves a ΓÇÿremainderΓÇÖ which consists of the untidy, creative part of how language is used ΓÇö the essence of poetry and metaphor. Although this remainder can never be completely formalised, it must be fully recognised by any true account of language and thus this book attempts the first ΓÇÿtheory of the remainderΓÇÖ. As such, whether it is language or the speaker who speaks is dealt with, leading to an analysis of how all speakers are ΓÇÿviolentlyΓÇÖ constrained in their use of language by social and psychological realties.
