Experience, evidence, and sense [electronic resource] : the hidden cultural legacy of English / Anna Wierzbicka. New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press, c2010. 1 online resource (x, 460 p.) In this volume, Anna Wierzbicka demonstrates that three uniquely English words - evidence, experience, and sense - are linchpins. Using a rigorous plain language approach to meaning analysis she unpackages the dense cultural meanings of these key words disentangles their multiple meanings, and traces their origins.
