Preview Pattern and Process: A Whiteheadian Perspective on Linguistics (Human Cognitive Processing)
Description:
What on earth, one might ask, has the complex - and sometimes obscure - philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead to do with the situation facing contemporary linguistics? He wrote, after all, rather little that was specifically about language. The whole "raison d'etre" of this work is to show that Whitehead's "philosophy of organism" has a good deal to offer that is relevant to cognitive science in general and to contemporary linguistics on particular. The purpose of the work is to apply Whitehead's ideas - interpreted in a certain light - to problems concerning the nature of the "content" of language, problems which all schools of linguistic thought face as ideas and approaches flourish within the cognitive sciences.
