Language and Cognition

700
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology of health and illness
  • Body studies
  • Disability studies

Background:

  • Stroke survivors often face complex, long-term disabilities impacting mobility, cognition, and communication.
  • Informal care plays a crucial role in the recovery and adaptation process for stroke survivors.
  • Understanding the lived experience of stroke survivors requires examining the interplay between personal biography and embodiment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between biographical disruption and body studies in the context of informal care for stroke survivors.
  • To develop a framework for understanding the role of embodiment within biographical disruption.
  • To analyze how stroke survivors and their support networks navigate embodied experiences post-stroke.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study utilizing narratives from 41 in-depth interviews.
  • Analysis of interviews with stroke survivors and their informal support networks.
  • Application of theoretical concepts including biographical disruption and body studies.

Main Results:

  • Identified an 'embodied dialectics' where past and present embodied experiences of chronic illness create productive tension.
  • Found that contradictions in embodied understanding generate new embodied knowledge.
  • Observed that ongoing tensions foster creative adaptations and conversations related to informal care and embodied practices post-stroke.

Conclusions:

  • Biographical disruption in stroke survivors is shaped by an ongoing 'embodied dialectics' involving competing demands of autonomy and dependence.
  • Socio-cultural practices and expectations significantly influence embodied understandings of illness and disruption.
  • Creative adaptations and new embodied knowledge emerge from the dynamic interplay of past and present embodied experiences.
