Quantum Linguistics and Didactics of Foreign Language Intensive Teaching
Natarelli, Larissa I.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Capella University
This dissertation focuses on quantum linguistics, a sub-field of philosophy of language, preoccupied with studying of the processes on a virtual drive of the human mind: patterns and dynamics of thoughts, verbal and non-verbal codification, cultural conditioning, and foreign language acquisition. While adopting an educational perspective fitting the humanistic legacy of great democrats-educators, this study embraces a relativist, quantum-mechanical framework in consideration of perceptive experiences, group dynamics, and foreign language express instruction with cross-cultural alertness. To help improve the national capabilities in foreign languages, this doctoral research investigates the nature, mechanisms, and factors affecting academic acceleration, intensification, and optimization.
