Can economists contribute to the study of language? Very often philosophers have questioned that instrumental rationality could account for the rational structure underlying our natural languages. Most linguists have simply ignored the economic approach. After the publication of Ariel Rubinstein's Economics and Language (CUP, 2000) there seems to be an opportunity to bridge all these gaps.
