From the barbed, childish taunt on the school
playground, to the eloquent sophistry of a
lawyer prising open a legal loophole in a court
of law, meaning arises each time we use language to
communicate with one another. How we use language - to convey
ideas, make requests, ask a favour, express anger, love, dismay - is of the utmost
importance; indeed, linguistic meaning can be a matter of life and death. And yet,
until relatively recently, the communicative value of language was all but relegated
to the margins of scientific enquiry.
In The Crucible of Language, Vyvyan Evans explains what we know, and what we do,
when we communicate using language; he shows how linguistic meaning arises,
where it comes from, and the way language enables us to convey the meanings
that can move us to tears, bore us to death or make us dizzy with delight. Meaning
is, he argues, one of the final frontiers in the mapping of the human mind.
