A History of Ambiguity

Ever since it was first published in 1930, William Empson’s Seven Types of Ambiguity has been perceived as a milestone in literary criticism—far from being an impediment to communication, ambiguity now seemed an index of poetic richness and expressive power. Little, however, has been written on the broader trajectory of Western thought about ambiguity before Empson; as a result, the nature of his innovation has been poorly understood. A History of Ambiguity remedies this omission. Starting with classical grammar and rhetoric, and moving on to moral theology, law, biblical exegesis, German philosophy, and literary criticism, Anthony Ossa-Richardson explores the many ways in which readers ...

The gradually emerging institutions concerned with the study, organisation, documentation, and distribution are considered as well as those dealing with the utilisation of language related knowledge. Special emphasis has been placed on related disciplines, such as rhetoric, the philosophy of language, cognitive psychology, logic and neurological science.

El Campo

Durante el reinado de Felipe II, el poder de los Austrias se extendió por un vasto territorio en el que la herramienta de gobierno empleada más efectiva fue la escritura. La importancia asignada a lo escrito en el manejo de un mundo tan extenso no era sino el fiel reflejo de la necesidad que había de llevar a cada rincón de ese imperio las órdenes e informaciones escritas salidas de la corte. Pero fuera de los palacios, el escrito se apoderó también de las calles. Junto a los cartapacios y pliegos vendidos en tiendas y mercadillos, otras escrituras reclamaban la mirada del transeúnte desde cualquier muro, monumento o puerta. Cédulas, memorias, libros de cuentas, cartas y billetes, g...
