Karl Bühler's Theory of Language/Karl Bühlers Sprachtheorie: Proceedings of the Conference Held at Kirchberg, August 26, 1984 and Essen, November 21-24, 1984

This volume contains selected proceedings of the conferences held at Kirchberg, August 26, 1984 and Essen, November 21-24, 1984 devoted to Karl Bühler's Theory of Language. Both conferences took place exactly fifty years after the publication of Bühler's masterpiece. However, it was felt necessary to bring renewed attention to Bühler's work in order to highlight its importance. The contributions in this volume, all in the original German language, focus on a wide range of perspectives: biographical, psychological, sociological, semiotic and linguistic.
