At the last minute, he was asked to give an additional course on language, which he improvised. \"The Genius of Language\" is the result. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner demonstrates how history and psychology together form the different languages and how ideas, images, and vocabulary travel through time within various cultural streams. He describes how the power to form language has declined, but that we can still recover the seed of language, the penetration of sound by meaning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe also explains how consonants imitate outer phenomena, whereas vowels convey a more inner sense of events; he talks about the differentiation of language as it is influenced by geography; he speaks of the \"folk soul\" element and the possibility of \"wordless thinking\"; we hear about the capacity of language to transform us and of its importance to our spiritual lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not just a course on language for those who love words but demonstrates ways to teach children. This little book will prove tremendously valuable to both educators and parents-in fact, to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of language and its significance for our lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is a translation from German of \u003ci\u003eGeisteswissenschaftlische Sprachbetrachtungen\u003c\/i\u003e (GA 299).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-463155\"\u003eRudolf Steiner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steiner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.58w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780880103862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0880103868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU040000\"\u003ePhilosophy, Theory \u0026amp; Social Aspects\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU029080\"\u003eTeaching | Subjects | Language Arts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU029100\"\u003eTeaching | Methods \u0026amp; Strategies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steiner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44529326293229,"sku":"9780880103862","price":18.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9b1da43a-9a80-4858-930d-d6d3908f24c4.jpg?v=1701397584","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-genius-of-language-observations-for-teachers-cw-299-9780880103862","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
