Bøger af Talbot J. Taylor

For the past 40 years Talbot Taylor has argued for the distinctively reflexive character of human language and discursive practices. The seven papers included here explore the implications of this argument for various fields of language research, including linguistic theory, linguistic anthropology, language acquisition, language evolution, folk psychology, cognitive science, linguistic historiography, and the philosophy of language.

This second volume follows on from Landmarks in Linguistic Thought I, which introduces the key thinkers up to the twentieth century. The series is ideal for anyone with an interest in the history of linguistics or of ideas.

By introducing the reader to the main issues and themes that have determined the development of the Western linguistic tradition, an evolution of linguistic thought quickly becomes apparent.

Discusses the theoretical and conceptual implications of the author's work for cognitive, developmental, and linguistic research, and uses it as a spring board to argue for a radical revision of the sciences of language and mind.
