{"product_id":"inside-language-ross-smith-9783905703207","title":"Inside Language","description":"Tolkien's views on language, though never published as a formalised theory, were in some aspects rather 'heretic' (to use Tom Shippey's term) and seemed to fly into the face of 'established' linguistic theory - most notably his conception of 'native (hereditary) language' and, related to it, the idea of 'linguistic aesthetic' and 'phonetic fitness'. Unfortunately, this aspect of Tolkien's linguistic work has, as yet, not received the attention it deserves and Ross Smith is one of the first Tolkien scholars to investigate the question of Tolkien's position on language vis-a-vis the then (and even now) dominant tenet(s) in some depth. This is a second, revised edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ross Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3905703203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783905703207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walking Tree Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Ross Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126060445951,"sku":"9783905703207","price":21.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b7589d3-fe5f-4867-818a-e2cc6cb6547d.jpg?v=1687446061","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inside-language-ross-smith-9783905703207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
