Linear languages are those in which an iteration of a sign is allowed. In contrast, in natural language-as it is assumed-an iteration of a term must have a different meaning than the initial term. Cogency of the notion of non-linearity is deemed to grow as its explanatory power is being revealed, though the idea of non-linearity itself does not seem to be contrary to common sense from the very beginning. Among the issues discussed in this book are the following: paradoxes; the concept of number; realism (as it should be understood within the concept); falsifiability, a peculiar aspect of the mind-body problem; universals; and other issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Mitjashin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761835237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761835233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.06w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 264","brand":"Alexander Mitjashin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483649126655,"sku":"9780761835233","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0d6255a-4841-4715-80e4-d76eeda53e99.jpg?v=1778039768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-and-language-alexander-mitjashin-9780761835233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
