Excellent- More about The Study of Speech Processes: Addressing the Writing Bias in Language Science
The study of spoken language has traditionally relied on writing to analyze speech, which assumes language to be derived from an autonomous mental capacity and fails to acknowledge culture-specific ideas linked to writing. This book challenges this approach by demonstrating that language processes are not physiologically autonomous and that speech structures are structures of spoken language. It illustrates how speech acts can be studied using instrumental records and how multisensory experiences in semantic memory couple to these acts, offering a biologically-grounded understanding of how spoken language conveys meaning and why it develops only in humans.

The study of spoken language has traditionally relied heavily on writing as a means of analysis, a approach that assumes language to be derived from an autonomous mental capacity to assemble words into sentences. However, this approach fails to recognize the cultural-specific ideas associated with writing, which can lead to misunderstandings of the nature of language. Words and sentences, as constructs of writing, do not fully capture the sound-making actions involved in spoken language.
This book aims to shed light on research that has long revealed structures present in all languages, but which do not align with the traditional linguistic analysis that is influenced by writing. It demonstrates that language processes are not physiologically autonomous, and that speech structures are distinct from those of written language. The book further illustrates how speech acts can be studied using instrumental records, and how multisensory experiences in semantic memory are linked to these acts, providing a biologically grounded understanding of how spoken language conveys meaning and why it is unique to humans.
By exploring these topics, this book offers a fresh perspective on the study of spoken language and its role in human communication. It challenges the notion that language is solely a product of the mind and emphasizes the importance of considering the cultural and biological factors that shape language development and usage.
