About the Book

Offers a comprehensive account of integrationalism, a major theory of language that declines to accept that text and context, language and world, are distinct and stable categories. This work demonstrates that the embeddedness of language and the situation-sensitive mutability of meaning reveal language as a tool for re-fashioning and renewal.

About the Author :
Michael Toolan is Associate Professor of English at the University of Washington.

Review :
“"Total Speech "provides an entirely original discussion of some of the most central and controversial issues in the theory and philosophy of language. This book is not just a synopsis of the integrationalist school of thought, it is a major contribution to the development of that thought and to its emergence as a major force in American and European thinking about language.”—Talbot Taylor, College of William and Mary "Toolan's title, "Total Speech," alludes to J. L. Austin's famous dictum: 'The total speech act in the total speech situation is the only actual phenomenon which, in the last resort, we are engaged in elucidating.' The failure of orthodox linguistics in the present century to provide any such elucidation is Toolan's main theme. He pursues the reasons for it with relentless rigor and analytical acumen." --Roy Harris," Times Literary Supplement" "[T]here is much to be grateful for in a book which so effectively sets out complex theoretical claims to a space where those of a broadly functional persuasion can work. . . . [T]here are many insights, precepts and recommendations that a . . . wide range of linguists will find stimulating, encouraging, and useful." --Geoff Thompson," Functions of Language" "This is an important book--both for the development of integrationist thinking and for the manner in which it forces adherents from all the other "isms" that currently litter the stage of language studies to think about the nature of language and linguistic communication." --Stuart Shanker," Metaphor and Symbol"
