Diagrammatic Gestures. Cognition, Mathematics, and Semiotics.
2021
here are words having an extraordinary evocative power. This is precisely the case of “Diagram” and “Gesture”. The frst term covers an interconnected network of concepts like “graph”, “schema”, “form”, “model”, “arrow”, and so on... And the same can be said of the second one: just think, for example, of the ideas of “movement”, “bodily action”, “practical activity” or, more generally, of “doing”. Accounting for them has been, over the last 50 years, the aim of signifcant portions of the work conduction in philosophy (Deleuze, Foucault, Merleau-Ponty), mathematics (Grothendieck, Lawvere, Thom), semiotics (Peirce), and theoretical linguistics (Culioli, Langacker, Pottier).

The silent work of speech. On an Enactive Grammar’s Insight

Many research programs have been worked out in recent years in order to account for an apparently trivial aspect of the human language activity. We refer to the fact that every speaker hears the sound of his own words. Our paper aims to embed this empirical insight in the theoretical framework of the so-called enactive grammar. This choice is justified by the fact that the enactive grammar introduced a formal distinction which allows to provide a clear formulation of the jakobsonian assert. In order to highlight this point, the paper will be subdivided into seven sections. The first section will be devoted to the experience of the hearing oneself speak. The second one will examine this expe…
