PSYC 682 - Language & Development

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PSYC - Psychology

Description:

A phenomenological approach to the study of the development of language and the way language shapes the person and the world. Language stands at a point of intersection between the child's experience of the world and the culture into which the child is born. Language is a public system of representation that defines the universal, but it is taken up as a personal means for expression of a particular life. Topics include the embodied character of language (gesture, reference, indexicality), syntax as an existential phenomenon rooted in sociality, language as a constitutive phenomenon, poetry and poesis.
