Languages in the Enactive Paradigm
Abstract
In this paper, I describe the enaction paradigm within an emergentist framework and I draw attention to what differentiates it from cognitive and connexionist approaches. Enaction highlights the role of action and perception in cognition and stresses the importance of languaging and affect in human development. I conclude with an overview of implications for languages education. Specific teaching applications are to be found in the references.
