Excerpt from The Meaning and Function of Thought-Connectives, Vol. 12
The importance of such investigation is, doubtless, in general language greatly increased. But that which general language stands for is also greater than that which mathematical symbols stand for. If then the special language of mathematics must not eclipse the special thought expressed, so also the student of general language should keep in view the general thought of humanity. Thought-study and word-study are two treat ments of the same problem. It is in these days required that each shall use the aid of the other.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This groundbreaking study aims to unravel the enigmatic nature of thought connectives, those words that forge meaningful links between our thoughts. The author challenges conventional wisdom, positing a novel theory that these connectives do not merely join sentences but rather serve as structural elements within thought itself, allowing us to express complex relationships between ideas. Drawing upon examples from the English language, the author meticulously analyzes the nuances of thought connectives, uncovering their dual role in reinstating previous thoughts and revealing the intricate web of relations that shape our understanding of the world. This book not only deepens our comprehension of linguistic expression but also provides a fresh perspective on the nature of human reasoning, revealing the profound interplay between language and thought. Its insights are invaluable for linguists, cognitive scientists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms by which we communicate and think.
