Linguistic Supertypes: A Cognitive-Semiotic Theory of Human Communication

Writing for anyone interested in language, communication, semiotics and cognition, but at a variety of levels, Durst-Andersen (international culture and communication, Copenhagen Business School) deals with the relationship between language and situation, perception, and cognition; the role that grammar plays in written and oral languages, and its importance to direct and indirect requests; and from types to supertypes, the basic voice of language, linguistic expansion, and the principle and secondary voice of language.
