Book Description
But these debates, as Ree shows in illuminating detail, were distorted by systematic misunderstandings of the nature of language and the five senses. Ree traces the botched attempts to make language visible, and he charts the tortuous progress and final recognition of sign systems as natural languages in their own right."--BOOK JACKET.
