Pragmaticism : Theory and Application
During the creation of Arwood’s Neuro-Education Model, Dr. Ellyn Arwood drew upon her decades of experience studying pragmaticism: a philosophy of language and thinking that asserts that learning is a holistic endeavor that is more than just the sum of its parts. Pragmaticism is most commonly associated with the works of Charles Peirce, who in turn viewed language as a series of functions: semantics, pragmatics, and semiotics. In this 1983 title, Dr. Arwood takes up where Peirce left off in the study of pragmaticism – by extending its analysis to the social, cognitive, and linguistic development of both typical children and those experiencing language differences. By introducing additional layers of scientific inquiry into the study of language, such as examining the mind and the brain, Dr. Arwood shares her unique take on how pragmaticism can inform the way that we understand human learning. A must-read for academics interested in learning more about applied linguistics and a functional, neurobiological perspective to language acquisition.
