Language is not merely a tool that is at our disposal, but rather it is the very dwelling place of Being itself. This notion challenges the notion that language is simply a means to an end, and instead emphasizes its inherent significance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a range of disciplines, including anthropology, pragmatics, and folklore studies, the author argues that language is the last homestead of human beings. In other words, mankind lives within language, has to live within language, and exists within the realm of formulaic speech events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo develop his own localized theory, the author takes a deep dive into Western classic works on the philosophy of language and incorporates his own insights, rooted in traditional Chinese culture. Through this exploration, he seeks to understand the philosophical aspect of man's survival by presenting day-to-day exchange routines, such as weddings and fortune-telling dialogues, within the Chinese context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis title is a testament to the author's academic excellence, having been awarded the first prize for Academic Excellence in Philosophy and Social Sciences in Guangdong Province and the second prize in the second Xu Guozhang Award for Foreign Language Studies. It is a must-read for researchers interested in philosophy of language and pragmatics, as it offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the intricate relationship between language and Being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367528829\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guanlian Qian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104625651962,"sku":"9780367528829","price":34.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1674829879110_book.jpg?v=1675623062","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/language-the-last-homestead-of-human-beings-9780367528829","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
