Prolegomena To A Theory of Language

The document outlines a theory of language that examines language from multiple perspectives including as a human characteristic, through empirical study, and in how it relates to reality. It discusses defining key terms and analyzing language components and their relationships, as well as exploring concepts like signs, expressions, invariants, variants, functions, and syntagmatic relationships. The overall aim is to develop a linguistic schema or framework that is common to all languages.
