Indeed, Granger sees linguistic theory as expressing a paradigm for scientific theorizing, which research in other social sciences should adopt.

ISBN: 9783319407951 / Angielski / Twarda / 399 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
This volume provides the key to a deepened discourse on philosophy in Africa.

The...
