A fascinating MetaFilter thread (started by the ever-inquiring y2karl) on the theories of Lev Semenovich Vygotsky. Lots of good links and food for thought.
Posted by languagehat at July 13, 2003 06:49 PMMy resident psycho-linguist is very keen on Vygotski and wonders if those interested in his ideas might also be interested in Mikhail Bakhtin (see for example http://www.shef.ac.uk/uni/academic/A-C/bakh/bakhtin.html or http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/b/bakhtin.htm)
