Linear languages are those in which an iteration of a sign is allowed. In contrast, in natural languages, it is assumed that an iteration of a term must have a different meaning than the initial term. This book looks at the assumption that natural language is not linear.
The World and Language propounds the assumption that natural language is not linear. Linear languages are those in which an iteration of a sign is allowed. In contrast, in natural language—as it is assumed—an iteration of a term must have a different meaning than the initial term. Cogency of the notion of non-linearity is deemed to grow as its explanatory power is being revealed, though the idea of non-linearity itself does not seem to be contrary to common sense from the very beginning. Among the issues discussed in this book are the following: paradoxes; the concept of number; realism (as it should be understood within the concept); falsifiability, a peculiar aspect of the mind-body problem; universals; and other issues.
