Paperback. Zustand: Good. Discover the Language of the Mind; The Hypnotist's Guide to Psycho-Linguistics by Patrick K. Porter, PhD was previously published as Psycho-Linguistics; The Language of the Mind. This fully revised edition includes updates on dozens of new developments in the hypnosis field, full transcripts for each of the eleven processes, which includes two never-before published techniques as developed and tested by Dr. Patrick Porter . Psycho-Linguistics is a practical guide to the combined theories of hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Creative Visualization and Accelerated Learning-a perfect mind guide for experienced hypnotists and psychotherapists or for anyone seeking a quick, easy, step-by-step method for self-improvement and enhanced communication. Over the years I spoke with dozens of Positive Changes clients who picked up Psycho-Linguistics simply to better understand the theory and science behind the Positive Changes program and found themselves fascinated by the inner workings of the mind. Now, with Discover the Language of the Mind, the book is more useful and intriguing than ever before. Dr. Porter added several real-life examples to help the reader better understand how each process works. While Psycho-Linguistics was clearly a book for the practitioner, Discover the Language of the Mind has something for everyone. Professional hypnotists and psychotherapists will find the book even more valuable than before. Each technique in Discover the Language of the Mind includes both a step-by-step guide and a full-session transcript. Novices will likely find the transcripts handy as well. They may wish to read a transcript into a tape recorder and then play it back when relaxing or at bedtime. Dr. Porter took a great book and made it even better. With new sections on the history of hypnosis, the workings of the conscious and other-than-conscious levels of mind, and great new techniques on The Power of the Past, and the Swish pattern for eliminating bad habits such as nail-biting, Discover the Language of the Mind is informative and at the same time a mesmerizing read. Discover the Language of the Mind is available at your local Porter Vision Affiliate. Johnson, Sam (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "A brilliant, witty, and altogether satisfying book." -- New York Times Book Review The classic work on the development of human language by the world's leading expert on language and the mind In The Language Instinct, the world's expert on language and mind lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about language: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, and how it evolved. With deft use of examples of humor and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of linguistics and cognitive science into a compelling story: language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution.  The Language Instinct received the William James Book Prize from the American Psychological Association and the Public Interest Award from the Linguistics Society of America. This edition includes an update on advances in the science of language since The Language Instinct was first published.

The Rules of Language: An accessible explanation of how grammar works, revealing the elegant, tree-like structures that allow us to generate infinite sentences from a finite set of words. Language and the Brain: A tour of the cognitive science and neurolinguistics behind our abilities, exploring the brain regions that compute language and what happens when they go wrong. The Evolution of Language: A compelling argument for why language is not a cultural invention but a biological adaptation, a human instinct honed by natural selection over millennia.…

Zustand: Fair. Thunderbird Roads: A Novel of Sky and CedarLeah is sent to build a museum show about Thunderbird-and refuses to turn many Nations' teachings into one tidy myth. On the coast and inland through British Columbia toward Thunder Bay, she learns to make rooms instead of answers: a listening bench where public wind-names play, a river map that breathes with high-water posts, a copper tools wall that leads with verbs-hammered, edged, kept-and a canoe shown for the work it does, not the symbol it could be.Elders and aunties set the pace. Youth engineers tune the loop. A hinge-mender oils the door; a soup-maker feeds the line; corrections are welcomed (mess becomes harm), and private stories stay in the houses they belong to. Weather moves through like a careful teacher. The door says four things: Welcome. Listen here first. Stories differ by place. Please look with patience.Slow-burn and luminous, Thunderbird Roads is a novel about consent, plural truths, and the ordinary verbs that hold communities together-open, feed, correct, close. It honors many Nations of Turtle Island by staying specific, inviting readers to learn locally, and letting the work speak first. In the end, the answer is a posture anyone can practice: sit first, listen longer, leave the blanks blank.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Imagine a village where everyone "speaks" sign language. Just such a village -- an isolated Bedouin community in Israel with an unusually high rate of deafness -- is at the heart of Talking Hands: What Sign Language Reveals About the Mind. There, an indigenous sign language has sprung up, used by deaf and hearing villagers alike. It is a language no outsider has been able to decode, until now. A New York Times reporter trained as a linguist, Margalit Fox is the only Western journalist to have set foot in this remarkable village. In Talking Hands, she follows an international team of scientists that is unraveling this mysterious language. Because the sign language of the village has arisen completely on its own, outside the influence of any other language, it is a living demonstration of the "language instinct," man's inborn capacity to create language. If the researchers can decode this language, they will have helped isolate ingredients essential to all human language, signed and spoken. But as Talking Hands grippingly shows, their work in the village is also a race against time, because the unique language of the village may already be endangered. Talking Hands offers a fascinating introduction to the signed languages of the world -- languages as beautiful, vital and emphatically human as any other -- explaining why they are now furnishing cognitive scientists with long-sought keys to understanding how language works in the mind. Written in lyrical, accessible prose, Talking Hands will captivate anyone interested in language, the human mind and journeys to exotic places.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. "Theory of mind" is the phrase researchers use to refer to children's understanding of people as mental beings, who have beliefs, desires, emotions, and intentions, and whose actions and interactions can be interpreted and explained by taking account of these mental states. The gradual development of children's theory of mind, particularly during the early years, is by now well described in the research literature. What is lacking, however, is a decisive explanation of how children acquire this understanding. Recent research has shown strong relations between children's linguistic abilities and their theory of mind. Yet exactly what role these abilities play is controversial and uncertain. The purpose of this book is to provide a forum for the leading scholars in the field to explore thoroughly the role of language in the development of the theory of mind. This volume will appeal to students and researchers in developmental and cognitive psychology. …
