Words are aspects of a much wider communicative context, most of which is not verbal at all. Yet words also have a nature peculiarly their own. And when discussing them as modes of action, we must consider both this nature as words in themselves and the nature they get from the non-verbal scenes that support their acts. I shall be happy if the reader can say of this book that, while always considering words as acts upon a scene, it avoids the excess of environmentalist schools which are usually so eager to trace the relationships between act and scene that they neglect to trace the structure of the act itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67590975553824,"sku":"USED0520024834","price":33.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71mA2zIinEL_cb9081a9-2ab0-4c0d-9e16-c6a0cdcc4748.jpg?v=1790627149","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-literary-form-0520024834-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
