Ramon Ferrer-i-Cancho mówił o czterech poziomach w badaniach nad językiem.
Obserwacja: część nauk empirycznych faworyzuje w procesie publikacyjnym poziom 1, odrzucając wyższe poziomy jako „spekulacje”.
Powyższa obserwacja sprawdza mi się w psychologii (korelacje między konstruktami, dużo lokalnych i jednostkowych teorii, niechęć do mówienia o ogólnych mechanizmach) i bioinformatyce (obsesja gromadzenia danych, bazy baz danych, niewiele interpretacji). — Julian Zubek 2021/11/03 09:28
O agentowych modelach emergencji języka: które ich założenia pochodzą bardziej od koncepcji komunikacji Shannona, a które od konwencji Lewisa?
Agent-based models of language emergence -- what is still missing? (JZ & JRL)
Abstract Engaged empirical research conducted with, and co-leaded by, autistic (Williams 2020) or alaryngeal (Zieliński 2021) participants show that direct involvement of all people present in particular interaction provide opportunities to study the situations in which truly “human knowing” manifests itself. “Take knowing what is going on with someone from seeing the way they lift their gaze, how to build workable cities, how to read, write, and listen. Take knowing how to make maple syrup, knowing how to tame a fox, how to make ideas felt in poetry, music, or dancing, or how to playfully move between experientially different worlds” (De Jaegher 2017). It is this concrete, risky, situated, and inherently ethical form of knowing (De Jaegher 2021) which is the most important, and extremely interesting, also for me.
However, for some time I struggle with the question: HOW to build knowledge about experiencing laryngectomy in a way which would be inclusive, participatory and strive for the values I believe in as a person and as a researcher (e.g. justice, well being, scientific rigour, richness of data, preserving real phenomena). The dominant narratives in research on laryngectomy are developed by doctors and engineers (I refer to it as “biophysical perspective”) and therefore lack the lived experience perspective of alaryngeal individuals. I claim that incorporation of embodied knowledge of larynx amputees – people directly involved in communicative situations in which at least one person is missing an organ responsible for voiced speech – could be beneficial for mainstream science. I wish to discuss with you my preliminary ideas to tackle the aforementioned problem: 1) text, image or video-mediated narratives (see e.g. the use of ethnographic creative non-fiction by Williams, 2020), 2) teaching practical skills utilizing our bodily incorporeality to evoke directed evolution of embodied knowledge (see e.g. interpretation of sailors' behaviour by McLaren, 2002). 3) participatory workshop form of interaction investigation (see e.g. PRISMA framework; De Jaegher et al 2017). I am also open to discuss other ways of building intersubjective knowledge together, and possible directions of work towards inclusive, participatory narratives on laryngectomy and other issues sharing similar methodological difficulties.
