Abstract

The articles in this volume deal with some aspects of a philosophical view of ‘le langage’. Thought—language relations, the psychophysiology of language, the psycholinguistic aspect of aphasia, audition, the writings of Kurt Goldstein, provide the subject matter. The rather wide scope and the small size of the volume make it inevitable that the articles are not exhaustive. The current literature covering this range of communication-related subjects is considerable. There is little attempt to deal with it by reference or comment. Each article tends to represent the informed personal view of the author. Each is theoretically eclectic. Probably the philosophic interest of the volume lies in the emphasis on theory, rather than on the presentation of any particular insights.
