How Language Began
ISBN: 9781107021211 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Human language is not the same as human speech. We use gestures and signs to communicate alongside, or instead of, speaking. Yet gestures and speech are processed in the same areas of the human brain, and the study of how both have evolved is central to research on the origins of human communication. Written by one of the pioneers of the field, this is the first book to explain how speech and gesture evolved together into a system that all humans possess. Nearly all theorizing about the origins of language either ignores gesture, views it as an add-on or supposes that language began in...

Gesture and Thought
ISBN: 9780226514635 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. David McNeill, a pioneer in the ongoing study of the relationship between gesture and language, here argues that gestures are active participants in both speaking and thinking. He posits that gestures are key ingredients in an imagery-language dialectic that fuels speech and thought. The smallest unit of this dialectic is the growth point, a snapshot of an utterance at its beginning psychological stage.
In "Gesture and Thought, " the central growth point comes from a Tweety Bird cartoon. Over the course of twenty-five years, the McNeill Lab showed this cartoon to numerous subjects who...

The Conceptual Basis of Language (RLE Linguistics A: General Linguistics)
ISBN: 9780415715751 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this volume, the author deals explicitly and literally with the speech-thought relationship. Departing boldly from contemporary linguistic and psycholinguistic thinking, the author offers us one of the truly serious efforts since Vygotsky to deal with this question. A unifying theme is the organization of action, and speech is seen as growing out of sensory-motor representations that are simultaneously part of meaning and part of action.

Hand and Mind: What Gestures Reveal about Thought
ISBN: 9780226561349 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 423 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is the relation between gestures and speech? In terms of symbolic forms, of course, the spontaneous and unwitting gestures we make while talking differ sharply from spoken language itself. Whereas spoken language is linear, segmented, standardized, and arbitrary, gestures are global, synthetic, idiosyncratic, and imagistic. In Hand and Mind, David McNeill presents a bold theory of the essential unity of speech and the gestures that accompany it. This long-awaited, provocative study argues that the unity of gestures and language far exceeds the surface level of speech noted by previous...

An Image of the Soul in Speech: Plato and the Problem of Socrates
ISBN: 9780271035857 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book, David McNeill illuminates Plato's distinctive approach to philosophy by examining how his literary portrayal of Socrates manifests an essential interdependence between philosophic and ethical inquiry. In particular, McNeill demonstrates how Socrates's confrontation with profound ethical questions about his public philosophic activity is the key to understanding the distinctively mimetic, dialogic, and reflexive character of Socratic philosophy. Taking a cue from Nietzsche's account of "the problem of Socrates," McNeill shows how the questions Nietzsche raises are...

Narrative Development in Young Children: Gesture, Imagery, and Cohesion
ISBN: 9781107041110 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As children begin to use language in early childhood, they produce increasingly large units of coherent speech, including narrative descriptions of events. This book examines the process of narrative development in young children, focusing on the development of 'cohesion' - the use of speech and gesture to create coherent perspectives on events. Surveying early narrative development in which gesture plays an integral part, the book explores the development of cohesive, clause-linking devices during the period from age two to three. Illustrated with longitudinal cases studies, the book...

The Pursuit of Power: Technology, Armed Force, and Society Since A.D. 1000
ISBN: 9781597404471 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 405 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this magnificent synthesis of military, technological, and social history, William H. McNeill explores a whole millennium of human upheaval and traces the path by which we have arrived at the frightening dilemmas that now confront us. McNeill moves with equal mastery from the crossbow--banned by the Church in 1139 as too lethal for Christians to use against one another--to the nuclear missile, from the sociological consequences of drill in the seventeenth century to the emergence of the military-industrial complex in the twentieth. His central argument is that a commercial transformation...
