Sommario/riassunto

'What is the meaning of a word?' In this thought-provoking book, Hagberg demonstrates how this question-which initiated Wittgenstein's later work in the philosophy of language-is significant for our understanding not only of linguistic meaning but of the meaning of works of art and literature as well.
