John E. Joseph

Language, Mind and Body

A Conceptual History

Buch

This book explores various attempts throughout the history of linguistics to explain language in terms of the body, and how these attempts contribute to, and challenge, the more mainstream, mind-based accounts of language. Covering linguistics, philosophy, psychology and medicine, as well as literary and religious dimensions, it explores the question: where is language?
