A Comparison of the Use of Questions in Wittgenstein{\textquoteright}s first 37 paragraphs of Philosophical Investigations with Austin{\textquoteright}s essay {\textquotedblleft}The Meaning of a Word{\textquotedblright}}, journal = {Organon F}, volume = {21}, number = {1}, year = {2014}, pages = {101-120}, type = {State}, abstract = {Wittgenstein{\textquoteright}s approach to philosophy is closely related not only to the content but also to the form of his investigations. The following paper presents the uniqueness of Wittgenstein{\textquoteright}s writing style, namely his use of questions, by comparing part of his work with Austin{\textquoteright}s essay. For this purpose a typology of questions with regard to their function in the text is established and applied. The difference between Wittgenstein{\textquoteright}s and Austin{\textquoteright}s writing style is then documented by the frequency of certain types of questions, and omission of others, and related to some of Wittgenstein{\textquoteright}s remarks about his approach to philosophical inquiry. The difference is then summarized tentatively as one between {\textquotedblleft}pedagogical{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}academic{\textquotedblright} writing style, which poses questions concerning the translation of Wittgenstein{\textquoteright}s investigations into academic prose.}, keywords = {Academic, Austin, pedagogical, Philosophical Investigations, philosophy, questions, response, stylistic, typology, Wittgenstein, writing style, {\textquotedblleft}The Meaning of a Word{\textquotedblright}}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2014/1/101-120.pdf}, author = {Fajmon, Blahoslav} }
