Abstract
The conceptual acknowledgement of the role played by verbal language, a very powerful medium, for the construction of every knowledge system, as well as for the establishment of relationships and exchanges between individuals, dates back to ancient times. In this paper, it is impossible to recall, albeit briefly, the theories about language in the learning systems from the Socratic dialogue, to conception up to Dewey, Bruner and Vygotskij among the others. As evidenced by Chomsky (1988), it is no coincidence that language has drawn the attention of scholars over the centuries, since it belongs to every single aspect of human life.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
