This review attempts to analyze why pragmatists like Stanley Fish are interested in the structure of sentences when the traditional assumption is that not only do pragmatists think but also go on to argue that all philosophers think mainly in terms of conceptual vocabularies rather than in propositions. It also attempts to understand why Fish uses the language of English composition studies rather than that of deconstruction as is usually the case in such instances. Fish’s invocation of Noam Chomsky’s theories of child language acquisition is also invoked to differentiate between the ability to analyze sentences and the ability to generate sentences in natural languages. The review concludes by stating that the main challenge in courses on reading and writing is to find a solution to the problem of generativity rather than stop with the analysis of sentences per se.
