Where is language? Answers to this have attempted to 'incorporate'
language in an 'extended mind', through cognition that is
'embodied', 'distributed', 'situated' or 'ecological'. Behind these
concepts is a long history that this book is the first to trace.
Extending across linguistics, philosophy, psychology and medicine,
as well as literary and religious dimensions of the question of
what language is, and where it is located, this book challenges
mainstream, mind-based accounts of language. Looking at research
from the Middle Ages to the present day, and exploring the work of
a range of scholars from Aristotle and Galen to Merleau-Ponty and
Chomsky, it assesses raging debates about whether mind and language
are centred in heart or brain, brain or nervous-muscular system,
and whether they are innate or learned, individual or social. This
book will appeal to scholars and advanced students in historical
linguistics, cognitive linguistics, language evolution and the
philosophy of language.
