Other title information: Analogies biologiques et structures mathématiques pour un génotexte
Annotation: A partir des verbes opérateurs d’un texte, jusqu’à leur enchaînement complet et original en une triple chaîne prédicative, l’ouvrage construit des scénarios de schèmes dans le cadre théorique de la Grammaire Applicative et Cognitive. Il propose une analyse de comparaisons existantes entre le génome et l’alphabet ou le texte, mettant en exergue la nécessité de niveaux d’analyse. A travers une série d’analogies, et une réflexion de ce fait interdisciplinaire, ces structures du langage sont mises en relation avec des structures mathématiques et biologiques : l’ADN, les protéines, la formation de l’embryon, selon des niveaux de comparaison. Construit par ses opérateurs qui mettent en œuvre un concept, le texte se déploie à partir de repères topologiques internes, tel le système nerveux puis le corps à la suite des cellules neurales. Une topologie textuelle devient appropriée pour décrire ce processus. From the operator verbs of a text, to their complete and original chaining in a triple predicative chain, the work constructs scenarios of schemes in the theoretical framework of Applicative and Cognitive Grammar. It proposes an analysis of existing comparisons between the genome and the alphabet or the text, highlighting the need for levels of analysis. Through a series of analogies, and a reflection of this interdisciplinary fact, these structures of language are related to mathematical and biological structures: DNA, proteins, the formation of the embryo, according to levels of comparison. Constructed by its operators who implement a concept, the text unfolds from internal topological markers, such as the nervous system then the body following the neural cells. A textual topology becomes appropriate to describe this process. (translated with Google Translate)

Mathematics as a Modeling System

Other title information: a Semiotic Approach
Notes: Editors of the series: Kalevi Kull, Silvi Salupere, Peeter Torop
Annotation: Mathematics and semiotics share many intellectual features and interests, from the study of how representations stand for specific kinds of referents to philosophical considerations of how these interrelate with reality. Nonetheless, in-depth studies of this intrinsic relation between the two have rarely been undertaken, with a few notable exceptions (as will be discussed in the book). Especially relevant to the study of the nature of mathematics is the concept of model – a term and notion that is used widely in both disciplines. However, to the best of our knowledge the theory of models in semiotics, known as Modeling Systems Theory, has rarely, if ever, been applied to the study of mathematical modeling. The purpose of this book is to do exactly that since it is our view that mathematics is a de facto modelling system in the semiotic sense and it is our hope that from this it will be possible to gain considerable insights into how mathematics works and achieves the discoveries and forms of knowledge that it has since the dawn of antiquity. Hopefully, this will allow both mathematicians and semioticians to pursue similar or analogous research objectives with regard to understanding the biological and cognitive etiology of sign systems and their connection to reality.

Other title information: Pioneer in Cosmopolitan Sociology and Risk Society
Annotation: This book presents Ulrich Beck, one of the world’s leading sociologists and social thinkers, as a Pioneer in Cosmopolitan Sociology and Risk Society. His world risk society theory has been confirmed by recent disasters – events that have shaken modern society to the core, signaling the end of an era in which comprehensive insurance could keep us safe. Due to its own successes, modern society now faces failure: while in the past experiments were conducted in a lab, now the whole world is a test bed. Whether nuclear plants, genetically modified organisms, nanotechnology – if any of these experiments went wrong, the consequences would have a global impact and would be irreversible. Beck recommends ignoring the mathematical morality of expert opinions, which seek to identify the level of a given risk by calculating the probability of its occurrence. Instead, man’s fear of collapse should offer an opportunity for international cooperation and a cosmopolitan turn in the social sciences.

A History of Psycholinguistics

Linguistics Oxford University Press 9780199653669 Available

Other title information: The Pre-Chomskyan Era
Annotation: How do we manage to speak and understand language? How do children acquire these skills and how does the brain support them? These psycholinguistic issues have been studied for more than two centuries. Though many Psycholinguists tend to consider their history as beginning with the Chomskyan "cognitive revolution" of the late 1950s/1960s, the history of empirical psycholinguistics actually goes back to the end of the 18th century. This is the first book to comprehensively treat this "pre-Chomskyan" history. It tells the fascinating history of the doctors, pedagogues, linguists and psychologists who created this discipline, looking at how they made their important discoveries about the language regions in the brain, about the high-speed accessing of words in speaking and listening, on the child's invention of syntax, on the disruption of language in aphasic patients and so much more. The book is both a history of ideas as well of the men and women whose intelligence, brilliant insights, fads, fallacies, cooperations, and rivalries created this discipline. Psycholinguistics has four historical roots, which, by the end of the 19th century, had merged. By then, the discipline, usually called the psychology of language, was established. The first root was comparative linguistics, which raised the issue of the psychological origins of language. The second root was the study of language in the brain, with Franz Gall as the pioneer and the Broca and Wernicke discoveries as major landmarks. The third root was the diary approach to child development, which emerged from Rousseau's Émile. The fourth root was the experimental laboratory approach to speech and language processing, which originated from Franciscus Donders' mental chronometry. Wilhelm Wundt unified these four approaches in his monumental Die Sprache of 1900. These four perspectives of psycholinguistics continued into the 20th century but in quite divergent frameworks. There was German consciousness and thought psychology, Swiss/French and Prague/Viennese structuralism, Russian and American behaviorism, and almost aggressive holism in aphasiology. As well as reviewing all these perspectives, the book looks at the deep disruption of the field during the Third Reich and its optimistic, multidisciplinary re-emergence during the 1950s with the mathematical theory of communication as a major impetus. A tour de force from one of the seminal figures in the field, this book will be essential reading for all linguists, psycholinguists, neuroscientists, and psychologists with an interest in language.
