This Element offers a comprehensive review of advancements in willingness to communicate in a second language. It describes WTC in first language communication research, reviews key perspectives, discusses key associated factors, and proposes several venues for future research. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
This Element is about Wittgenstein's engagement with skepticism. Two forms of skepticism will be at the center of this Element: skepticism concerning the knowledge of the 'external world,' and skepticism concerning the knowledge of 'other minds.' It will be shown that Wittgenstein is neither a skeptic nor an anti-skeptic.
This Element is the first comprehensive study of the implications of Wittgenstein's ideas such as the nature of common sense and its relations to common knowledge; testimony and trust; deep disagreements in connection with genealogical challenges; and the meaning of 'woman' and the role of self-identification in the determination of gender.
This Element explores Wittgenstein's critique of private language in the Philosophical Investigations, which presents a series of arguments, suggestions, questions, examples and thought-experiments whose purpose is to undermine the temptation to think of sensations and perceptual experiences as private objects occupying a private phenomenal space.

Exploring the ethical dimension of Wittgenstein's thought, Iczkovits challenges the view that Wittgenstein had a vision of language and subsequently a vision of ethics, showing how the two are integrated in his philosophical method, and allowing us to reframe traditional problems in moral philosophy considered as external to questions of meaning.
