The language-communication-society triangle defies traditional
scientific approaches. Rather, it is a phenomenon that calls for an
integration of complex, transdisciplinary perspectives, if we are
to make any progress in understanding how it works. The highly
diverse agents in play are not merely cognitive and/or cultural,
but also emotional and behavioural in their specificity. Indeed,
the effort may require building a theoretical and methodological
body of knowledge that can effectively convey the characteristic
properties of phenomena in human terms.
New complexity approaches allow us to rethink our limited and
mechanistic images of human societies and create more appropriate
emo-cognitive dynamic and holistic models. We have to enter into
dialogue with the complexity views coming out of other more
material sciences, but we also need to take steps in the linguistic
and psycho-sociological fields towards creating perspectives and
concepts better fitted to human characteristics.
Our understanding of complexity is different but not opposed to
the one that is more commonly found in texts written by people
working in physics or computer science, for example. The goal of
this book is to extend the knowledge of these other more human or
socially oriented perspectives on complexity, taking account of the
language and communication singularities of human agents in
society.
