Now out: my new book

Structural Linguistics in the 21st Century

—a sequel to Schools of Linguistics



Hello! Summarizing myself in a few words, I am:

Looking back at a career which began in the late 1960s, I see my central themes as being: to expose the wrong-headedness of a view of human nature that has permeated the academic world during my lifetime and which sees Mankind as far lesser creatures than we are (see the topics “freedom and creativity” and “language and the human mind” in my intellectual contributions page); and, to make as transparent as possible to 21st-century English-speakers a literary monument which is one of the earliest windows the world has onto the thoughts and feelings of human beings in an ancient, distant society.
