Die Metapher im Kontext einer allgemeinen Symboltheorie (German, Hardcover)

This book traces the consequences of Goodman s typology of symbolic systems. If all symbolization relies on establishing relations between things, and can be located at the intersection between semantic and syntactic clarity as well as syntactic and semantic ambiguity, there must be a region that touches upon both dimensions. This study locates metaphor in this borderline region, thereby generating novel philosophical questions."
