Краткое описание: The ideas described in this book have been developed in linguistics and the philosophy of language, as vell as in some related disciplines such as mathematics, logic and psychology. They necessarily represent only a very small proportion of the long tradition of the serious study of language; we have chosen them because of their impact on current work in linguistics and the philosophy of language.

Краткое описание: Vhat is a “quotation”? It is a saying or piece of writing that strikes people as so true or memorable that they quote it (or allude to it) in speech or writing. Often they will quote it directly, introducing it with a phrase like “As says” but equally often they will assume that the reader or listener already knows the quotation, and they will simply allude to it without mentioning its source (as in the headline “A rosé is a rosé is a rosé,” referring obliquely to a line by Gertrude Stein).

This dictionary has been compiled from extensive evidence of the quotations that are actually used in this way. The dictionary includes the commonest quotations which were found in a collection of more than 200,000 citations assembled by combing books, magazines, and newspapers.
