The Linguistics of Lying And Other Essays by Harald Weinrich

The Linguistics of Lying And Other Essays by Harald Weinrich

Brings thinking about semantics to bear on the question of how, and how much, language corresponds to thought. This title argues that lying is a function not of words but of sentences; it belongs to the semantic aspect of language. It forges links between linguistic and literary categories on the one hand and ethics and good manners on the other.

Harald Weinrich , one of Europe's most eminent scholars, has served as chair for European studies at the Collège de France, chair of Romance philology and literature at Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel and at the University of Cologne, and chair of linguistics at Munich and at Bielefeld University, where he also directed the Center for Interdisciplinary Research. Jane K. Brown is professor of Germanics and comparative literature and Marshall Brown is professor of English at the University of Washington.
