The Language Myth in Western Culture by Roy Harris Jr
The basic claim of this book is that for 2000 years and more the western tradition has relied on two very dubious assumptions about human communication: that each national language is a unique code and that linguistic communication consists in the utilization of such codes to transfer messages from mind to mind.Roy Harris is an Honorary Fellow of Saint Edmund Hall and Emeritus Professor of General Linguistics at the University of Oxford.
