Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory Reihe

Diese Reihe erforscht einen radikal innovativen theoretischen Ansatz zu Sprache und Kommunikation. Sie stellt die grundlegenden Annahmen der traditionellen Linguistik in Frage und bietet eine integrationistische Perspektive. Kommunikation wird als kreatives Unterfangen betrachtet, das die entscheidende Rolle der Kontextualisierung und der Integration von Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft über die Einhaltung etablierter Regeln stellt.

    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 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.
