Book Description:

Much of 20th-century philosophy approached metaphysical and epistemological issues through an analysis of language. This book demonstrates that non-declarative speech acts--including vocative hails ("Yo!") and calls to shared attention ("Lo!")--are as fundamental to the possibility and structure of meaningful language as are declaratives.
