Journal Article
The Metaphorical-Literary Dichotomy: Rethinking the Question of Primacy
2003
Overview
A survey of some of the most representative language philosophies in the Western tradition leads to the conclusion that the perennial issue of whether linguistic meanings are literal or metaphorical may never be decided unequivocally. Plato's, Giambattista Vico's (1725), Friedrich Nietzsche's (1873), Anthony Richard's (1936), & Jacques Derrida's (1989) views are considered, concluding that the problems of circularity, self-reference, & regression ad infinitum are formidable obstacles to resolving the question of the first, original, & fundamental, meaning of linguistic signs. 11 References.
