内容説明
This is a study of how language and thought relate to each other in the context of a critique of linguistics. The text argues that people learn the meanings of pieces of language by observing how those pieces are used in life. When they fit the meanings of their language together they follow the logic of life. This book shows how personal understanding of language may be used.
