Abstract

Finally, in Chapter 6, the core subject of this study is emphasized as a turn toward an interpretative, emphatic and socially engaged participatory, linguistic research which transcends the boundaries of scientific disciplines, erases strict demarcation between science and society, and takes knowledge construction and knowledge implementation outside of an academic arena into the real world. All this is presented through a macro-complexity- driven, transdisciplinary approach to language study, in which language is viewed as a function of communicative action, as an integral component of human social interaction, deeply and absolutely rooted in cultural, historical, political, social and other domains of our private and public lives. In that sense, complexity of language extends to an intrinsic interplay of both language-internal and language-external factors, which all play a part in the emergence of social and cultural meanings in our societies.
