Origin Of Language
The origin of language (spoken and signed, as well as language-related technological systems such as writing), its relationship with human evolution, and its consequences have been subjects of study for centuries.

Sign Language
Sign languages (also known as signed languages) are languages that use the visual-manual modality to convey meaning. Sign languages are expressed through manual articulations in combination with non-manual elements. Sign languages are full-fledged natural languages with their own grammar and lexicon.

It encompasses the analysis of every aspect of language, as well as the methods for studying and modeling them.

Linguists consider both spoken and signed communication to be types of natural language, meaning that both emerged through an abstract, protracted aging process and evolved over time without meticulous planning.

Andrea De Jorio
Andrea De Jorio (1769–1851) was an Italian antiquarian who is remembered today among ethnographers as the first ethnographer of body language, in his work ''La mimica degli antichi investigata nel gestire napoletano'', 1832 ("The mime of the Ancients investigated through Neapolitan gesture"). The work has been mined, refined and criticized. Born on the island of Procida in the Gulf of Naples, De Jorio became a Canon (priest), Canon at the Cathedral of Naples, a respected archaeologist under the pre-modern conditions of his times, and a curator at the predecessor to the National Archaeological Museum (Naples), Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples. He wrote extensively about the then-recent excavations of classical antiquity near Naples, such as Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Cumae. His recognition in the frescos of Pompeii and Herculaneum provided him with his insight, that the gestures depicted were familiar to him in the streets of modern Naples. The book stressed the continuity ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] |

Natural Philosophy
Natural philosophy or philosophy of nature (from Latin ''philosophia naturalis'') was the philosophy, philosophical study of nature and the physical universe that was dominant before the development of modern science. From the ancient world, at least since Aristotle, to the 19th century, ''natural philosophy'' was the common term for the study of nature. It was in the 19th century that the concept of science received its modern shape, with different subjects within science emerging, such as astronomy, biology, and physics. Institutions and communities devoted to science were founded. Isaac Newton's book, ''Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica'' (1687) (English: ''Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy''), reflects the use of the term ''natural philosophy'' in the 17th century. Even in the 19th century, a treatise by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, Kelvin and Peter Tait (physicist), Peter Tait, which helped define much of modern physics, bore the title ''Treatis ...

Baconian Method
The Baconian method is the investigative method developed by Francis Bacon, Sir Francis Bacon, one of the founders of modern science, and thus a first formulation of a modern scientific method. The method was put forward in Bacon's book ''Novum Organum'' (1620), or 'New Method', and was supposed to replace the methods put forward in Aristotle's ''Organon''. This method was influential upon the History of scientific method#Francis Bacon's eliminative induction, development of the scientific method in modern science; but also more generally in the early modern rejection of medieval Aristotelianism. Description in the ''Novum Organum'' Bacon's view of induction Bacon's method is an example of the application of inductive reasoning. However, Bacon's method of induction is much more complex than the essential inductive process of making generalisations from observations. Bacon's method begins with description of the requirements for making the careful, systematic observations necessary ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] |
