Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intricate connection between language and action, this book presents Mediated Discourse Theory, which examines social relationships to understand how language functions as both an action and a mediator of human behavior. Through an empirical study of a one-year-old child learning to exchange objects with caregivers, the author critiques the prevailing notion that all practices are captured in discourse and that discourse universally structures practice. This innovative approach sheds light on the complexities of communication and human interaction.
