Abstract
We shall attempt in this chapter an analysis of English from the viewpoint of the behavioural pragmatics involved. We shall discuss the aspects of the world that are dealt with in informal language behaviour and illustrate with a variety of examples structures available in English to cope with the naive phenomenology of the world. This analysis of English is related on the one side to our earlier discussion of the second-signalling role of language behaviour and on the other side to a detailed analysis, later in this book, according to our model of a rather large corpus of child speech.
