BIOLOGY OF COGNITION AND LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS - ...

This book is an attempt to re-evaluate some basic assumptions about language  communication 
and cognition in the light of the new epistemology of autopoiesis as the theory of the living.
Starting with a critique of common myths about language and communication  the author goes on
to argue for a new understanding of language and cognition as functional adaptive activities in
a consensual domain of interactions. He shows that such understanding is  in fact  what marks a
variety of theoretical and empirical frameworks in contemporary non-Cartesian cognitive science
thus  cognitive science is in the process of working out new epistemological foundations for
the study of language and cognition. In Part Two  the traditional concept of grammar is
reassessed from the vantage point of autopoietic epistemology  and an analysis of specific
grammatical phenomena in English and Russian is undertaken  revealing common cognitive
mechanisms at work in linguistic categories.
