The contributions of the interdisciplinary study of language to an understanding of mind
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2004
Abstract:
Carpendale & Lewis (C&L) emphasize the importance of viewing language as activity. In this commentary I push further their claim by highlighting how constructions, rather than words, are the appropriate unit of analysis. In addition, I suggest how a discussion of indexicality paves the way for a better understanding of how language provides a powerful tool for children's construction of mind.
