Alexis Kagame and African socio-linguistics

D. A. Masolo

pp. 181-205

Abstrakt

Language is the human faculty by which he objectifies the motion of conscience in phonic symbols. For this reason language forms the object of philosophical research, for the cognitive function inherent in it, as well as because of its cultural value as an active participation in the formation of the human world. Language thus appears as a special manifestation, placed between the motional (physiological) order on the one hand and the mental order on the other; it unites the physical and psychological domains into one more complex reality.
