Description

Language As Bodily Practice In Early China by Jane Geaney Paperback

Challenges the idea held by many prominent twentiethcentury Sinologists that early China experienced a ampampquotlanguage crisis.ampampquotJane Geaney argues that early Chinese conceptions of speech and naming cannot be properly understood if viewed through the dominant Western philosophical tradition in which language is framed through dualisms that are based on hierarchies of speech and writing such as realityappearance and onemany. Instead early Chinese texts repeatedly create pairings of sounds and various visible things. This auralvisual polarity suggests that texts from early China treat speech as a bodily practice that is not detachable from its use in everyday experience.
