Integrationism, language, mind and world [An article from: Language Sciences]
This digital document is a journal article from Language Sciences, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: These are mainly comments on other papers printed in this issue, originating from a conference that I was unfortunately unable to attend. So, I address them with the disadvantage of not having taken part in any discussion that may have followed their original presentation. This is already one kind of decontextualization, but it is not something I can now do much about. Some of the papers printed here have nothing to say about integrationism at all. These I do not comment on. I examine the prospect of fruitful collaboration between integrationists and proponents of 'distributed cognition'. .

Philosophical integrations [An article from: Language Sciences]
This digital document is a journal article from Language Sciences, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: Our understanding of malapropism is a phenomenon that cries out for explanation, and we here use this phenomenon as a test case to evaluate the plausibility not just of different versions of Integrationism but also of the 'Language of Thought' hypothesis and a rival Dynamical Systems approach to modelling the workings of the mind. The verdict: The Roy Harris version of Integrationism (which overlaps interestingly with some views of the philosopher Donald Davidson) is extravagant and implausible and does not cut the mustard. The 'Language of Thought' hypothesis is put under severe strain. The Dynamical Systems approach which incorporates the 'Extended Mind' hypothesis, sits comfortably with the plausible version of Integrationism that is found in the late writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein. .

Who's afraid of Serotaspeak? [An article from: Language and Communication]
This digital document is a journal article from Language and Communication, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: Drawing its inspiration from Roy Harris's The Necessity of Artspeak which investigates the ramifications of the language myth in Western discourse on the arts, this paper examines Sir Nicholas Serota's 2000 Richard Dimbleby Memorial Lecture entitled `Who's afraid of modern art?' as an example of artspeak in the service of the institution. My analysis takes account of the socio-cultural context in which the Lecture is embedded and views this context as paramount to a close reading of the text. I argue that Serota's discourse, located in the very public domain of television, illustrates what Harris characterises as the subordination of artspeak to the new supercategory of mediaspeak. .
