Sinossi
Excerpt from Grammar of the English Language
Language is a growth, and, like every other growth, is primarily dependent upon an inward vital energy. It has its origin and its development in answer to an instinctive desire of the soul to express its thoughts and feelings. The power of speech is stimulated by the presence of external objects, and takes its actual form by means of an unconscious ability to imitate the vocal symbols which chance to be made the conventional representatives of thought. It matters not to what nation or people the child may belong: be he English, French, German, or Chinese, it is all the same. The speech which he hears in his childhood becomes his vernacular tongue, and all others are foreign.
Place him among the cultivated and refined, and he employs, he knows not why, the pure and polished speech of his guardians and associates. On the contrary, let him fall among the rude and illiterate, and he as readily and as surely accepts for his native lan guage, his mother tongue, their perverted words and incorrect modes of expression.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of creative problem-solving, offering a multifaceted approach to understanding how people make decisions under uncertainty. The author also draws on historical and literary sourcesâ"from Aristotle to Kafkaâ"to highlight the ways in which creative problem-solving has been theorized and represented in different eras. The book argues that all creative thought is essentially a kind of problem-solving, which the author defines as any situation where an individual must make a decision under conditions of uncertainty. The author's unique perspective and interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving will greatly appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of cognition, creativity, and decision-making.
