Opis

Best known as the founder of Basic English, Charles Kay Ogden has also explored fields such as psychology, lexicography and prosody. This boxed set contains a new critical edition of The Meaning of Meaning. Based on the first edition of 1923, it restores the version of the Word Magic chapter eliminated from all subsequent editions. This edition illuminates the text by collating it with earlier serial publications, the holograph manuscript predating Ogden's collaboration with I.A. Richards, subsequent publications and Ogden's private correspondence.
