Abstract:

Since the earliest days of our species, technology and language have evolved
in parallel. This book examines the processes and products of this age-old
relationship: a phenomenon we're calling technolingualism -- the mutually
influential relationship between language and technology.

One the one hand, as humans advance technology to master, control, and change
the world around us, our language adapts. More sophisticated social-cultural
practices give rise to new patterns of linguistic communication. Language
changes in its vocabulary, structures, social conventions, and ideologies.
Conversely-and this side of the story has been widely overlooked-the unique
features of human language can influence a technology's physical forms and
technical processes.

"Technolingualism" explores the fascinating ways, past and present, by which
language and technology have informed each other's development. The book
reveals important corollaries about the universal nature of language and, most
importantly, what it means to be human. From our first babbling noises to the
ends of our lives, we are innately attuned to the technologies around us, and
our language reflects this. We are, all of us, technolinguals.
