Adam Smith’s ‘Considerations’ on Language
2018 ◽
pp. 290-302
Smith’s essay is placed in its biographical, cultural and intellectual contexts. The last of these focuses on the contemporary debates concerning the origin of language. The tenor of Smith’s argument is that language develops toward increasing abstraction and that this development is consonant with the development of society. This exposition is also comparative, as Smith’s argument is located alongside the views of a wide-range of his contemporaries.
