  An account of Wittgenstein's view of language as expressed in the Philosophical Investigations . Travis argues that Wittgenstein's view is a radical break with a still-dominant Fregean tradition. On this basis, he gives a treatment of the significance of private language and of themes in the text, such as family resemblance and language games.
