>Hi Mike and all,
"(...) This goes along with Vygotsky's suggestion that children's informal
and formal education through the medium of language strongly influences the
level of conceptual thinking they reach. If the language climate within
which children grow up (direct speech, mass
communication media) is dominated by simplistic or "primitive" language,
then the children will think only simplistically or primitively. But if the
language environment contains varied and complex concepts, then children
will learn to think in varied and complex ways, given that their initial
biological equipment (sense organs, central nervous system) is not
impaired."
Doris.
What Vygotsky calls "primitive"? Is the use of this word a prove of
vygotskian "ethnocentricism"?
