> Abstract:
> This work introduces Russian theories of language from the Vygotskian
> perspective. The holistic nature of Russian psychology is highlighted,
> viewing the personality development of each individual as a
> whole. Vygostky's interdisciplinary approach to education, termed
> pedology, is examined.  This work also opens a discussion of language:
> code, representation, image, imagination
> , imitation, and
> mimesis. Vygotskian thought is compared with Chaos Theory/Complexity
> Theory on a philosophical level.
