More quotes by Jay Lemke

The medium of printed scientific text is first of all a visual one.

Jay L. Lemke (1998)

Minds are formed by our social interactions in a community and a culture.

The language others speak to us, from childhood, shapes the attitudes and beliefs that ground how we use all our powers of action.

Our visual discrimination is far better than our linguistic system at dealing with complex ratios and continuous variations in space, line, shape, and color.

All meaning is intertextual. No text is complete or autonomous in itself; it needs to be read, and it is read, in relation to other texts.
