Description

Li: Dr. St. Clair, as a distinguished professor in the Department of Communication, University of Louisville, you have a wide range of interests in research, could you please introduce your major research fields as well as your major achievements in these fields? St. Clair: I approach scholarship as a search for insight into solving problems that I am working on. This commitment means that if I need to learn another language in order to read documents in their original language, I will study another language. When I received my BA degree, I was comfortable in 11 languages. I have now studied 28 and my 29th will be Chinese. In terms of content areas, I will sit in classes in other fields and read voraciously in other fields when I am trying to solve interdisciplinary problems. My home field is linguistics but I am comfortable with such fields as philosophy, communication theory, sociology, political science, and bilingual education. It has taken me years to become competent in these fields but the journey has been worth the travel. I am now looking at sign theory from the perspectives of structural epistemology and structural ontology. I want to expand on the work of Hjelmslev and redo the model of Charles Sanders Pierce. I want to revise the model of symbolic interactionism to include a philosophical statement about human cognition and information processing. This is the current problem that I am working on.
