Consciousness, Language, and Self

Psychoanalytic, Linguistic, and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

Beschreibung

Consciousness, Language, and Self proposes that the human self is innately bilingual. Conscious mind includes two qualitatively distinct mental processes, each of which uses the same formal elements of language differently. The "mother tongue," the language of primordial consciousness, begins in utero and our second language, reflective symbolic thought, begins in infancy.
