It examines assertives (absolute or conditional statements, forecasts, insurance, etc.), directives, declarations, and enumerations, as well as different types of textual units allowing authors to perform these acts: algorithms, recipes, prescriptions, lexical templates for terminological studies, and enumerative structures. The book relies on the study of a broad range of documents of the past dealing with various domains: mathematics, zoology, medicine, lexicography. The documents examined come from scholarly sources from different parts of the world, such as China, Europe, India, Mesopotamia, and are written in a variety of European languages as well as Chinese, Cuneiform, and Sanskrit. This approach proves fruitful in both history of science and Text Act Theory. 410 0$aArchimedes, New Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology,$x1385-0180 ;$v42 606 $aHistory 606 $aLanguage and languages?Philosophy 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aPhilosophy of Language$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E26000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aLanguage and languages?Philosophy. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Language. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 676 $a401.41 702 $aChemla$b Karine$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVirbel$b Jacques$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484250103321 996 $aTexts, Textual Acts and the History of Science$92845006 997 $aUNINA
