Intersubjectivity and language processing
The aim of the paper is to point out the role of interdependencies between genetic predisposition, neurobiological systems and interpersonal relationships in the process of personal development of human beings, their behavior in general and verbal behavior in particular. The main focus is on the neurobiological mirror mechanism and on the intersubjective experience, which together contribute to the shaping of the processes of concept formation, conceptualization, verbalization of conceptualizations, language development and language processing. The author emphasizes the role of emotions and advocates an integrative view on human language faculty and language behavior.
