Word Rounds by Barton J. Gershen
Dr. Gershen has long been fascinated by the language of medicine, a language of arcane words peculiar to his profession. In this book, designed for his colleagues as well as for the general public, he reaches far and wide for the origin of these words and how they were derived into modem day medical language.

Language and Meaning in Human Perspective by S. K. Leung
Against the popular belief that language and meaning are essentially public in their epistemological origin, this book offers a philosophical basis for its antithesis. The author refutes the separation of reference from meaning, the long-held logical principle of the identity of the indiscernibles, and Wittgenstein's no-private-language philosophy.
