"Anyone who reads this book from beginning to end... will surely come to the same conclusion as the author: in reality, there is no such thing as an ideogram." - from the Foreword by Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania
Product Description
In his latest book, J. Marshall Unger exposes the historical, scientific, cultural, and practical flaws accompanying the widespread belief that Chinese characters embody pure, language-less meaning. Whether one is interested in Chinese characters from the standpoint of language, literature, semiotics, psychology, history, cultural studies, or computers, Ideogram contains new ideas and insights that are sure to challenge preconceptions and provoke thought.
