This book is an attempt to re-evaluate some basic assumptions about
language, communication, and cognition in the light of the new
epistemology of autopoiesis as the theory of the living. Starting
with a critique of common myths about language and communication,
the author goes on to argue for a new understanding of language and
cognition as functional adaptive activities in a consensual domain
of interactions. He shows that such understanding is, in fact, what
marks a variety of theoretical and empirical frameworks in
contemporary non-Cartesian cognitive science; thus, cognitive
science is in the process of working out new epistemological
foundations for the study of language and cognition. In Part Two,
the traditional concept of grammar is reassessed from the vantage
point of auto-poietic epistemology, and an analysis of specific
grammatical phenomena in English and Russian is undertaken,
revealing common cognitive mechanisms at work in linguistic
categories.
