520 8 The Semantics of Science proposes a radical new rethinking
of science and scientific discourse. Roy Harris argues
that supercategories such as science, art, religion and
history are themselves verbal constructs, and thus
language-dependent. Because each supercategory is
constructed differently, it is necessary to pay attention
to the linguistic process by which a discourse such as
'science' has developed. Through this view it is possible
to observe that the function of the supercategory is to
integrate what would otherwise be separate activities and
enquiries, and the result of this integration is therefore
a re-drawing of the intellectual world that society as a
whole adopts. In the course of his study of The Semantics
of Science Roy Harris looks at the history and development
of scientific discourse to show through language that what
is meant by science has changed since it was first
theorised by the Greeks. Harris traces the semantic
development of 'science' through the years of the Royal
Society to the present day, moving on to an analysis of
rhetoric, mathematics, common sense and finally the
supercategory of semantics. This lucidly written yet
radical new theory on the language of science will be
fascinating reading for academics and students researching
semantics, semiotics or applied linguistics.>
