<p><strong>'Roy Harris's </strong><em>Language, Saussure and Wittgenstein</em><strong> is a particularly welcome bridge between philosophy and linguistics ... Careful exploration of this important and influential theory ... illustrates how comparative studies of thinkers may occasionally create fascinating diffraction patterns.'</strong> - <em>The Guardian</em></p>
Saussure as a linguist and Wittgenstein as a philosopher of language are arguably the two most important figures in the development of twentieth-century linguistic thought. By pointing out what their ideas have in common, in spite of emanating from very different intellectual sources, this study breaks new ground.
