Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this volume, Anna Wierzbicka demonstrates that three uniquely English words - evidence, experience, and sense - are linchpins. Using a rigorous plain language approach to meaning analysis she unpackages the dense cultural meanings of these key words disentangles their multiple meanings, and traces their origins. |
