Beskrivning

In Language Creativity: A Semiotic Perspective, Simone Casini aims to frame the concept of creativity within a linguistic dimension by developing a theoretical reflection with constant references to contact languages and to the educational plan. Semiotic creativity abandons the condition of the linguistic property inter pares and rises to the rank of theoretical and first principle by which languages define themselves, function and interact in the negotiation of meaning in relation to the social uses. Casini considers creativity as a premise for the rule changing of boundaries of meaning and creation of language and meaning. The work progresses starting from the historical-critical concept of creativity, discussing the most philosophical and linguistic theories in the North American and European context.

Il libro è coraggioso: non ha paura di affrontare alcune fra le più complesse questioni che riguardano i processi di costruzione del senso. È un libro che con coraggio si pone al punto di incontro di veri e propri continenti di questioni: il rapporto fra le prospettive semiotiche europee e quelle nordamericane; il piano dei processi individuali di creatività e la dimensione collettiva, sociale; l’analisi teoretica dei processi e la dimensione applicativa, soprattutto nel campo linguistico-educativo. Non un libro di sintesi, dunque, ma una proposta interpretativa basata su una solida base teorica e di storia delle idee.The book is courageous: it is not afraid to address some of the most complex issues surrounding the processes of building meaning. It is a book that courageously places itself at the meeting point of real continents of issues: the relationship between the European and the North American semiotic perspectives; the plan of individual processes of creativity and the collective, social dimension; and the theoretical analysis of processes and application dimension, especially in the linguistic-educational field. Not a book of synthesis, therefore, but an interpretive proposal based on a solid theoretical basis and history of ideas.
