Language and Languages

2020
The editorial organization of the contents of the Course in General Linguistics contributed to establishing the primacy of the language system (la langue) by situating it above the empirical plurality of world languages (les langues). La langue is defined by means of dogmatic, axiom-like statements with little empirical justification or background ...

The S Language [PDF]

open access: possible, 1994
S is a language for the manipulation of objects. It aims to be both an interactive language (like, for example, a Unix shell language) as well as a complete programming language with some convenient object-oriented features. In this chapter we shall be concerned with the interactive language, and hence certain language constructs used mainly in ...

Language

2016
It is certainly fitting to have a chapter on language in a vocabulary book. The fact that how we talk (and write) about creativity relates closely to how we think about this phenomenon and act in relation to it is obvious (for more reflections on this issue, see the introductory chapter).

On languaging and languages

Language Sciences, 2017
Abstract I consider the ontology of languages and the linguistic units said to constitute them, in the light of a speculative sketch of how languaging about language might give rise to the idea of a language. The focus is principally on the role of reflexivity and the development of writing in facilitating the decontextualisation, abstraction and ...

Language Lateralization in a Bimanual Language

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2003
Abstract Unlike spoken languages, sign languages of the deaf make use of two primary articulators, the right and left hands, to produce signs. This situation has no obvious parallel in spoken languages, in which speech articulation is carried out by symmetrical unitary midline vocal structures.

Languages at Risk: A Challenge for Language Technology [PDF]

open access: possible, 2012
We are witnesses to a digital revolution that is dramatically impacting communication and society.

What can this analogy tell us about the future of the European information society and our languages in particular?

Language

2013
Noninvasive focal brain stimulation by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used extensively in the past 20 years to investigate normal language functions. The picture emerging from this collection of empirical works is that of several independent modular functions mapped on left-lateralized temporofrontal circuits originating ...

Written Language, Standard Language, Global Language

World Englishes, 2003
AbstractEnglish, along with a small number of other languages in the modern period, has expanded away from local through national to international domains, changing significantly along the way. But the changes are not simply those that take place in the normal course of the history of a language; other changes come about as a language takes on new ...

Involvement with language and in language

Journal of Pragmatics, 1994
Abstract In section 1, the ways in which people are involved with their own language are dealt with. The Prague School functional concept of ‘experiencing one's language’ (being a parallel to ‘involvement’) is presented, and the following points discussed: different attitudes of users toward language, characteristic features of their involvement with
