Beskrivning
Charles Kay Ogden was best known in the world press as the founder of Basic English and remains known as the senior author (with I A Richards) of The Meaning of Meaning and the expositor of Jeremy Bentham's writings. But he also turned his boundless intellectual energy to allied fields such as psychology, lexicography, and prosody. This collection contains a new critical edition of The Meaning of Meaning. Based on the first edition of 1923, it restores the version of the important "Word Magic" chapter eliminated from all subsequent editions. It illuminates the text by collating it with earlier serial publication, the holograph manuscript predating Ogden's collaboration with Richards, subsequent publications, and Ogden's private correspondence.
