Re: [xmca] speaking in verbs

Anton's answer was the one I was searching for, Mike. He just leapfrogged straight to what I was looking for. I am currently reading a book by a writer who thinks and writes only in nouns, so this set me thinking ... can't wait to get back to the Romantics ...

If the question was the changing translation of the title of LSV, Andy, the
change was unlikely to have been done by von Humbolt. :-)
I believe that the place to look is to Norris Minnick's stay in Moscow, as a student of Jim Wertsch, with Vladimir Zinchenko as advisor.
I believe you can find past discussions of this matter on xmca or xlchc, but have not checked.

    Oh thank you, Anton. I bought his CUP selected works last week and
    was hoping to get into it very soon. So probably Moses Hess got his
    observations on the topic from Wm v Humboldt!

        Can anyone tell me who was the first to insist on the title of
        Vygotsky's famous work being translated as "Thinking and Speech"
        rather than "Thought and Word" and does anyone know of the most
        famous or first claims made about the importance of thinking
        speaking in verbs rather than nouns. And any claims to the
        contrary, that nouns are the best, and has anyone claimed that
        adjectives and adverbs are philosophically superior?
