Description: Title: Speaking and Language: Defence of PoetryAuthor: Paul GoodmanPublisher: Vintage Books (Random House New York)Date: 1972ISBN: 9780394718019Description: From the back cover: "A study of 'how people actually speak and the language that is actually spoken,' this book casts a fresh light on the whole subject of modern linguistics. Language, Goodman holds, is not a means of communication between speaker and hearer, it /is/ their communication. Good speech is both deeply conservative and continually agitational. Like Jaspersen, Goodman traces the continuity between inventive, colloquial speech and deliberate writing." Used paperback, not an ex-library book. Condition: Used paperback, NOT an ex-library book. Scuff and score marks on cover. Crease in spine. Age-related discoloration throughout. Page faces clean and readable with no folds, tears, ink or pencil marks.
