Abstract:

Reviewing and elaborating L. S. Vygotsky's view of language mediated 
development, this work presents an extension of the Russian thinker's 
developmental psycho-semiotics to an educational psycho-semiotics. 
Interpreting original discussions of tool-mediation as developmental 
mechanism, this book addresses the question of what occurs in the 
interpersonal environment that enables the internalisation of tool and the 
development of thinking. Filling in a gap in Vygotsky's theoretical framework, 
it discusses in detail inter-psychological processes as the social origins of 
changes in the intra-psychological domain.

Besides theoretical descriptions, this book also offers an original instrument 
for educational research or practitioners' reflection of micro-genetic processes 
of interaction and change. This instrument is then applied in interpretive 
analyses of real-life classroom exchanges. 

Contents: Psychological semiotics - Vygotsky - Language and thinking - 
Language as psychological symbols - Mediated development - Theoretical 
framework - Interpretive instrument - Interpretive analyses.
