About this book

In the field of philosophy of language, is there life beyond Chomsky? Deleuze's deep distrust for, and fascination with language provide a positive answer - nothing less than a brand new philosophy of language, where pragmatics replaces structural linguistics, and where the literary text and the concept of style have pride of place. This should be good news not only for philosophers, but for linguistics and literary critics as well.

Reviews

'Of great interest to those interested in literary theory, French philosophy, and linguistics, this useful study is without peer.' - M. Uebel, Choice
