The ISCIA Seminar: Grappling with Complexity
“Languages and their agents: stories of complexity”
Jacqui Lück (Linguistics, Deputy Dean, Humanities, Nelson Mandela University) Sharon Rudman (Linguistics, Nelson Mandela University)
In this presentation, we will consider the implications of understanding language through a complexity theory lens. Language – as our primary medium of communication – is dynamic and constantly adjusting to the communicative needs of a changing world. Seen as a complex system, the rules and patterns of a language emerge as a result of use by language agents – both individually and collectively. We will pay particular attention to the explanation of discourse as well as the individual subject of discourse, both as complex systems, and consider how this could contribute to our understanding of student shifts due to interactions in our language classes.
Dr Jacqui Lück is senior lecturer in the dept of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, and Deputy Dean Learning and Teaching in the Faculty of Humanities. She holds a PhD language and knowledge and a MA in language acquisition. Dr Sharon Rudman is a lecturer in the dept of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics and holds a PhD in philosophy and a MA in language acquisition.
