Philosophy of Language, 1856-1906
Collection: 19th and 20th Century Philosophy in Perspective Volumes Philosophy of Language, 1856-1906
This volume contains 10 books from Lady Victoria Welby-Gregory’s annotated personal library. The books, which were published or republished during the period 1856-1906, contend with the philosophy of language and its related subfields, such as philology, linguistics, semantics, semiotics, and semiology. Many of the ideas expressed within these books were important in the development of Welby-Gregory’s own theory of significs, which she summarised as “the science of meaning or the study of significance.”
Authors in this volume: Carl Abel (1837-1906); Mary Everest Boole (1832-1916); Michel Bréal (1832-1915); William Flemming (1791-1866); Henry Watson Fowler (1858-1933); A.C. Price (unknown); Alfred Sidgwick (1850-1943); John Radford Thomson (d. 1918); and David Urquhart (1805-1877).
