Cognitive Dynamics and the Language Sciences (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the limitations of traditional views in language sciences, particularly the misconception of language as representational. It emphasizes a distributed approach to understanding language as a set of physical events influenced by social brains that enable real-time coordination. The authors highlight the importance of rethinking linguistic theories and practices to better account for the role of language in shaping human cognition and agency, arguing for a shift away from the idea of language as a coded system.
