Getting to know the monster


Today I think I have made the final choice between early language aquisition and adult mastering of the language - I have decided to follow my curiosity towards childrens play with words and abandon the theory that a practical aproach to language is most needed in vocational courses.

The practical perspectrive will thus be closely linked to cognitive theories of bodily language - that all language is metaphorically linked to the physical experiences of infant life. I do not think of language as a matrix of random sounds, but as an organic growing system of association.
