Abstract:

William Diver of Columbia University (1921-1995) critiqued the very roots of 
traditional and contemporary linguistics and founded a school of thought that 
aims for radical aposteriorism in accounting for the distribution of linguistic 
forms in authentic text. Grammatical and phonological analyses of Homeric 
Greek, Classical Latin, and Modern English reveal language to be an instrument 
whose structure is shaped by its communicative function and by the peculiarly 
human characteristics of its users. Diver's foundational works, many never 
before published, appear here newly edited and annotated, with introductions by 
the editors. The volume presents for the first time to a wide audience the depth 
and originality of Diver's iconoclastic thought.
