Integrationism provides an alternative perspective on language and communication to those theories Harris identifies as segregational, i.e. those which assume the feasibility of analytically separating linguistic from non-linguistic activity. The thesis begins by interrogating and creatively developing a number of important integrational conceptions, in particular external integration and operational discriminations. This critical appraisal of the integrational literature takes into account recent work by integrationists and identifies a number of potentially productive parallels between integrationism and the work of Tim Ingold, plus current research in ecological psychology and Southern Theory. The next stage of the thesis employs these integrational conceptions in an analysis of my own creative communicative activity (signmaking) . My own reflexive analysis is contrasted with a more traditional semiological analysis conducted by Louis Hébert. This leads to a number of provisional conclusions. One, that traditional analysis has often failed to take fullaccount of the semiological activity of the analyst and underappreciated analysis as a communicative proce","cbCaibdiYggqPsrX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibdiYggqPsrX","pdf",1545026,276,"English","# Introduction\n## Introducing and Positioning this Thesis\n## Original Contribution\n## An Overview of the Following Chapters\n## Chapter One: The Integrational Sign and the Prospects for Analysis\n## Introducing the Integrational Sign\n## Integrationism and ‘the Problem of Analysis’\n## Reasons for Optimism","[{\"question\":\"What theoretical perspective guides the thesis’s approach to language and communication?\",\"answer\":\"The thesis uses integrationism, Roy Harris’s theory of communication, which offers an alternative to segregational views that try to analytically separate linguistic from non-linguistic activity.\"},{\"question\":\"Which integrational concepts are developed and used in the thesis?\",\"answer\":\"The thesis develops integrational conceptions, focusing especially on external integration and operational discriminations, and then applies them to the author’s own communicative practice.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the thesis evaluate the limits of traditional/semiological analysis?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that traditional analysis often fails to fully account for the semiological activity of the analyst and underestimates analysis as a communicative process in its own right.\"}]","Reintegrating the Analyst - Linguistic and Communicational Methodology in Integrationist Perspective | PDF",696]
