Lev Semenovich Vygotsky is an outstanding psychologist and the creator of the cultural-historical concept for the development of higher mental functions. His works had a significant influence on domestic and world psychology, as well as related sciences—pedagogy, defectology, linguistics.
Vygotsky’s classic work “Thinking and Speech” (1934) examines the relationship between language, thinking, and consciousness. The concluding chapter of this book, titled “Thought and Word,” that we offer your attention, is the quintessence of the entire work.
According to Vygotsky, “thought is not expressed in words, but happens within words.” Speech is not a simple mirror reflection of thought. The relationship between thought and word is a living dynamic process of creating and embodying thought in words.
The audio book will be of interest to psychologists, educators, philologists, and everyone who is interested in issues of psychology and psycholinguistics.
