《语言爱好者：一生的语言之爱》

Julie Sedivy | 2024 | ISBN: 0374601836 | English | 336 pages | ePUB | 1 MB

A celebration of the beauty and mystery of language and how it shapes our lives, our loves, and our world.

If there is one feature that defines the human condition, it is language: written, spoken, signed, understood, and misunderstood, in all its infinite glory. In this ingenious, lyrical exploration, Julie Sedivy draws on years of experience in the lab and a lifetime of linguistic love to bring the discoveries of linguistics home, to the place language itself lives: within the yearnings of the human heart and amid the complex social bonds that it makes possible.

Linguaphile: A Life of Language Love follows the path that language takes through a human life―from an infant’s first attempts at sense-making to the vulnerabilities and losses that accompany aging. As Sedivy shows, however, language and life are inextricable, and here she offers them together: a childish misunderstanding of her mother’s meaning reveals the difficulty of relating to other minds; frustration with “professional” communication styles exposes the labyrinth of standards that define success; the first signs of hearing loss lead to a meditation on society’s discomfort with physical and mental limitations.

Part memoir, part scientific exploration, and part cultural commentary, this book epitomizes the thrills of a life steeped in the aesthetic delights of language and the joys of its scientific scrutiny.

庆祝语言的美与神秘，以及它塑造我们的生活、爱情和世界的奇迹。 人类存在的一个特征就是语言：无论是书写、口头交流还是手语，无论被理解或误解，在其无限的荣耀中。 在这部巧妙而诗意的探索中，Julie Sedivy 结合了实验室多年的经验和个人一生对语言的热爱，将语言学的发现带回家，带到语言本身居住的地方——人类心灵的渴望以及它所建立的复杂社会联系之中。 语言爱好者：一部关于语言之爱的人生旅程。从婴儿最初的感知尝试到与衰老相伴的脆弱和失去，语言学家Sedivy展示了语言如何深深嵌入生命中，并在这里将它们结合在一起：她母亲言语中的误解揭示了理解和他人思想的困难；对专业沟通风格的挫败感暴露出了定义成功背后的复杂标准；首次听力下降引发了关于社会对身体和精神局限的不适。 这部作品既是个人回忆录，又是科学探索，也是一部文化评论，它完美地体现了在语言美学愉悦与科学研究之乐中浸润一生的乐趣。
