Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory

Cette série explore une approche théorique radicalement innovante du langage et de la communication. Elle remet en question les hypothèses fondamentales de la linguistique traditionnelle, offrant une perspective intégrazioniste. La communication est considérée comme une entreprise créative, soulignant le rôle crucial de la contextualisation et de l'intégration du passé, du présent et de l'avenir plutôt que l'adhésion à des règles établies.

    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.
