Review title: The book itself is Propaganda
Product review: If you like to know the definition and segmentation regarding linguistics, not the meaning and influence of language. Then this book is for you. Elaboration on symbolization, on context and connotation, on three parts on understanding - verifiability/inferences/judgments... etc. Unfortunately, those segmentation is merely for easy to analyze language and not grip language itself. Besides, take every arguments by granted, rather than convincing examples or comparsion. Pop books, like Steven Pinker's books.Recommedation:1. The new rhetoric by Perelman2. AristotleYou might not like their ideas on langauage, however, their wisdom are quite inspiring and helpful for your understanding of this field.
