Beschreibung
Our ability to use written and spoken signs to mean things is so integral to the kind of creatures we are, we seldom notice how incredible this ability is. Yet on reflection, meaning seems entirely mysterious. What is meaning? How do our words get to mean anything at all? These are the questions that drive this book.
