Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory

Questa serie esplora un approccio teorico radicalmente innovativo al linguaggio e alla comunicazione. Mette in discussione le supposizioni fondamentali della linguistica tradizionale, offrendo una prospettivaτων integrenzionista. La comunicazione è vista come un'impresa creativa, che enfatizza il ruolo cruciale della contestualizzazione e dell'integrazione di passato, presente e futuro rispetto all'aderenza alle regole stabilite.

    The book presents a compelling argument regarding the prevalent 'written language bias' found in both traditional and contemporary linguistics. Through extensive evidence drawn from various linguistic fields, it critiques how this bias influences the understanding and study of language. By highlighting these discrepancies, the author encourages a broader perspective on language that transcends the limitations of written forms.

    The Written Language Bias in Linguistics
  • The book presents a provocative argument that reason is not an inherent trait of the human mind but rather a construct shaped by the evolution of literacy in European cultures. Harris critiques the traditional view of rational thought, tracing its development from Classical Greece to contemporary symbolic logic, suggesting that Western notions of reason are deeply intertwined with cultural and historical contexts rather than being universally innate.
