基本説明
In this collection of sixteen previously published essays, a distinguished international line-up of philosophers and linguists address a variety of interconnected themes concerning our knowledge of language.
Full Description

This and an associated claim, that linguistics is essentially in the business of rendering such knowledge explicit, have been the target of an evolving series of sceptical objections ever since.
