Abstract:

Where is language? Answers to this have attempted to 'incorporate' language in
an 'extended mind', through cognition that is 'embodied', 'distributed',
'situated' or 'ecological'. Behind these concepts is a long history that this
book is the first to trace. Extending across linguistics, philosophy,
psychology and medicine, as well as literary and religious dimensions of the
question of what language is, and where it is located, this book challenges
mainstream, mind-based accounts of language. Looking at research from the
Middle Ages to the present day, and exploring the work of a range of scholars
from Aristotle and Galen to Merleau-Ponty and Chomsky, it assesses raging
debates about whether mind and language are centred in heart or brain, brain
or nervous-muscular system, and whether they are innate or learned, individual
or social. This book will appeal to scholars and advanced students in
historical linguistics, cognitive linguistics, language evolution and the
philosophy of language.
