Advanced Linguistics

 

Introduction

  • All language participates in the Semiophere and is interpretted. A hermeneutic understanding of language and Discourse is essential to communicating about risk. Language is understood as a:
  • Social institution (langue)
  • Concrete usage (parole, speech, discourse)
  • Meta-knowledge of language (competence, syntax)
  • Internal/external discourse/Discourse
  • Bodily skill (embodiment) in resonance
  • Neural structure
  • Processes/function (neurolinguistics)
  • Performance (enactment of meaning)
  • Semiotic-semiosis (meaning) i-thou
  • The personification of dialectic, Archetype of an ethic/politik (Ellul)
  • A symbolic energy/force (Bourdieu), as a Poetic media
One of the most important things to lean in Linguistics is what is hidden in text and speech acts and how these communicate semiotically to the human
  • and collective unconscious. SPoR understands language as represented in the following semiotic map.
