{"product_id":"beyond-superstructuralism","title":"Beyond Superstructuralism","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoving on from his previous book, Superstructuralism , Richard Harland argues that the focus on single words in the structuralist theory of language is its key weakness and that the next advance beyond post-structuralism depends upon replacing word-based with syntagm-based theories. In a lucid way he develops a new syntagmatic theory which shows  that the effect of combining words grammatically can transform the very nature of meaning. The wide breadth of coverage  in the book covers both post-Chomskyan' linguistics and Derrida, and sets up an opposition to analytic and speech-act views of language. By presenting a systematic critique and counter-proposal, Harland challenges the very foundation of recent literary and language based theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521843261678,"sku":"9780415063586","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415063586.jpg?v=1702060163","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/beyond-superstructuralism","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
