Publisher's Synopsis
The Peirce Manual of Language Lessons, originally published in 1896, is a comprehensive guide to teaching language skills to students. Written by Franklin Reinhardt Heath, the manual is based on the theories of philosopher and logician Charles Sanders Peirce, who believed that language was the foundation of all human knowledge. The book is divided into chapters that cover various aspects of language, including grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and composition. Each chapter includes detailed explanations of the concepts being taught, along with examples and exercises to help students practice and reinforce their understanding. In addition to its practical approach to language instruction, the Peirce Manual also explores the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of language. Heath draws on Peirce's ideas about semiotics, or the study of signs and symbols, to explain how language functions as a system of communication and representation. Overall, the Peirce Manual of Language Lessons is a valuable resource for teachers, students, and anyone interested in the study of language and its role in human cognition and communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
