内容説明

This text offers a sustained account of an area that is usually hastily dismissed. Using the resources of contemporary philosophy - notably Deleuze and Lyotard - Lecercle manages to bring out the importance of nonsense. Why are we - and in particular, philosophers and linguists - so fascinated with nonsense? Why do Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear appear in so many otherwise dull and dry academic books? Lecercle attempts to show how the genre of nonsense was constructed and why it has proved so enduring and enlightening for linguistics and philosophy.

Why do Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear appear in so many otherwise dull and dry academic books? This amusing, yet rigorous new book by Jean-Jacques Lecercle shows how the genre of nonsense was constructed and why it has proved so enduring and enlightening for linguistics and philosophy.
