Structures of Language: Notes Towards a Systematic Investigation
This annotated commentary delineating Michel Pêcheux’s materialist discourse theory anticipates the formation of a real social science to supersede the metaphysical meanings ‘always-already-there’ instituted by empirical ideology. Structures of Language presents Pêcheux’s consequential work in respect of Ferdinand de Saussure’s epistemological breakthrough that founded the science of linguistics: the theoretical separation of sound from meaning. Noam Chomsky’s generative grammar, John Searle’s philosophy of language, B. F. Skinner’s indwelling agents, J. L. Austin’s speech situations, Jacques Lacan’s symbolic order, and other influential linguistic researchers, are cited to explain imaginary semantic systems. The broader implications for structural metaphysics in language use are tacitly conveyed.
Project for a Scientific Sociology
Cessante causa, cessat effectus (when the cause ceases, the effect ceases) is applicable for every existing type of social pathology. In Project for a Scientific Sociology, Joan Casser provides an operational overview of inter-individual behavior. He develops the research of Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, Russian neurologist Ivan Pavlov, Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler, et al., as a means to examine energy transference in society. Prediction, motion, operant conditioning, crime, punishment, security, and law-governed behavior are reviewed socio-logically. Casser commences with worked matter and ends with the state in this causal configuration of inter-individual behavior.
Research on Mother Tongue Education in a Comparative International Perspective
Pioneering in the comparison of standard language teaching in Europe, the International Mother tongue Education Network (IMEN) in the last twenty-five years stimulated experts from more than fifteen European countries to participate in a range of research projects in this field of qualitative educational analyses. The volume "Research on mother tongue education in a comparative international perspective - Theoretical and methodological issues" documents theoretical principals and methodological developments that during the last decades shaped IMEN research and may enlarge the fundaments of comparative qualitative research in language education in a seminal way. The topics of this volume include: - IMEN's aims, points of departure, history and methodology; - research on the professional practical knowledge of MTE-teachers; - innovation, key incident analysis and international triangulation; - positioning in theory and practice. Also included: the IMEN bibliography 1984-2004 which supplies a complete picture of IMEN research activities from the beginning.
