| 520 | 8 | |a This book explores the relations between language, the world and the mind. Pieter Seuren argues that language requires a theory with abstract principles and that grammars are neither autonomous nor independent of meaning but mediate between propositionally structured thoughts and systems, such as speech for the production of utterances. | |
