Abstract:

In his account of text and textual meaning, Pettersson demonstrates that a
text as commonly conceived is not only a verbal structure but also a physical
entity, two kinds of phenomena which do not in fact add up to a unitary
object. He describes this current notion of text as convenient enough for many
practical purposes, but inadequate in discussions of a theoretically more
demanding nature. Having clearly demonstrated its intellectual drawbacks, he
develops an alternative, boldly revisionary way of thinking about text and
textual meaning. His careful argument is in challenging dialogue with
assumptions about language-in-use to be found in a wide range of present-day
literary theory, linguistics, philosophical aesthetics, and philosophy of
language.
