Dictionary of the Language Sciences, Oswald Ducrot and Tzvetan Todorov

Book in excellent condition, a rarity with some marks on the cover The Dictionary of the Language Sciences, by Oswald Ducrot and Tzvetan Todorov, remains today an indispensable reference work in the complex domain of a discipline—linguistics—that increasingly reveals itself as foundational to all human sciences. Described by a French critic as a “masterpiece of organization,” the Dictionary of the Language Sciences presents 57 entries, within which approximately 800 definitions can be found—easily located thanks to the final indexes. From a content perspective, the reader will encounter, across four major sections, all knowledge pertaining to the subject: schools (from the 17th century up to Chomsky), domains (including psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics), methodological concepts (from the sign to literary genres), and descriptive concepts (from the simplest—the units are meaningful—to the most complex—language and action). A fundamental work for Portuguese students and scholars. DETAILS Dictionary of the Language Sciences by Oswald Ducrot and Tzvetan Todorov Edition: Publicações Dom Quixote
