Item description from seller

Paperback. Explores the origins of key concepts in semantics and semiotics.This book explores the influential currents in the philosophy of language and linguistics of the first half of the twentieth century, from the perspective of the English scholar C. K. Ogden (18891957). Ogden was connected to several of the most significant figures of the modernist period, including Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Victoria Lady Welby, Otto Neurath and Rudolf Carnap. In investigating these connections, this book reveals links between early analytic philosophy, semiotics and linguistics in a crucial period of their respective histories and in turn sheds light on the intellectual history of the early twentieth century.Readers are introduced to the important interaction between Ogdens thought and Victoria Lady Welbys significs, Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgensteins logical atomism in its various forms, and the philosophy and political activism of Otto Neurath and Rudolf Carnap of the Vienna Circle. McElvenny also examines the background to the ideas espoused in Ogdens book The Meaning of Meaning, co-authored with I. A. Richards, along with the application of these ideas in Ogdens international language project Basic English. This book explores the influential currents in the philosophy of language and linguistics of the first half of the twentieth century, from the perspective of the English scholar C. K. Ogden (18891957). It reveals links between early analytic philosophy, semiotics and linguistics in a crucial period of their respective histories.
