Anatomy of Language: can we understand language games from cortical networks?

6/8/2017

0 Comments

 


Already online my paper “Anatomy of Language”. I’m thrilled with this paper because it is the first one I write and publish in my mother thong, the Portuguese.

It is significant topic because the paper attempts to draw an evaluation upon the empirical methods and theoretical frameworks adopted in the study of metaphor. The perspective in this paper was particularly to look at the conception of metaphor in neuroscience and psycholinguistics, against the notion of language games. The major aim was to see whether this notion of metaphor as a language game remained hidden, or not, from empirical lenses of behavioural paradigms (e.g. times response), and brain pictures (imagiology).

The linguistic turn could not anticipate that the 21st century would be dominated by cognitive states of linguistic encoding penetrating propositional attitudes, - even in the case of metaphors. Wittgenstein, on his return to philosophy, did substitute the conception of language as exclusively a set of axioms, and meanings of truth conditions by the notion of language games and forms of life. I guess he would agree with our Portuguese poet, there are metaphors, which are more real than the people walking on the street (BS, Book of the Disquiet).

I am thankful to the editors of Kairos, and, of course, to the reviewers who helped me bringing my ideas into clarity.

Já se encontra disponível online o meu artigo “Anatomia da Linguagem”. Estou muito feliz com este artigo por ser o primeiro artigo que escrevo e publico na minha língua materna, o português. 

Parece-me um tema relevante porque tenta fazer uma avaliação sobre os métodos empíricos e enquadramentos teóricos utilizados para o estudo da metáfora. A perspectiva neste artigo foi sobretudo olhar para a concepção de metáfora adoptada na neurociência e psicolinguística e compará-la coma sua concepção enquanto "jogos de linguagem". O objectivo foi perceber se a dimensão de jogo de linguagem ficava, ou não, escondida por detrás de paradigmas comportamentais (tempos resposta) e imagens cerebrais (imagiologia). 

A viragem linguística não podia antecipar que o século XXI da ciência cognitiva ficaria dominado por estados cognitivos de codificação linguística a penetrar atitudes proposicionais, - até mesmo no caso da metáfora. Wittgenstein, no seu regresso a Filosofia, substituiu a concepção da linguagem como exclusivamente um conjunto de axiomas e de significados de condições de verdade pela noção de jogos de linguagem e formas de vida. Parece-me que ele concordaria com o nosso poeta, que nos diz, há metáforas mais reais do que a gente que anda na rua (BS, Livro do Desassossego). 

Estou grata aos editores da Kairos e, claro, à preciosa ajuda dos revisores por me ajudarem a tornar mais claras as minhas ideias.

The ladder

6.54   My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them—as steps—to climb beyond them. (He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder after he has climbed up it.)
   He must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the world aright.
