Intencionalidade e linguagem (II): algumas considerações sobre Tomaselo, Searle e Dennett
(2015-12) MOREIRA, Sylvio Állan Rocha; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de
In the present paper we propose that the concept of intentionality is a relevant tool to interpret human symbolic repertoires. We analyze how the concepts of intentionality and verbal language are articulated in Tomasello's Usage-Based Theory of Language Acquisition, Searle's Illocutionary Acts Theory, and Dennett's Intentional Systems Theory, seeking to identify their role on determining human cognition. These theories suggest interdependence between these concepts, which differ among themselves as to how this relation is articulated. They also emphasize the importance of symbolic repertoires, especially verbal language, to human cognition. As intentionality is a feature of human cognition, a link between verbal language and intentionality for the functioning of human cognition is a topic to be investigated in scientific psychology.

Intencionalidade em Tomasello, Searle, Dennett e em abordagens comportamentais da cognição humana
(2011-06) MOREIRA, Sylvio Állan Rocha; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de
The approach of Tomasello to the evolution of human cognition attempts to integrate biological, behavioral, and cultural processes within a sole explicative system. A fundamental critic towards it has been the need of a better elaboration of the concept of intentionality. The present paper aimed to: (1) analyze Tomasello's use of the concept of intentionality, and (2) establish dialogues between this use and theories of intentionality in the philosophy of mind and functionalist approaches to human cognition in behavior psychology. The results of this paper indicate that Tomasello's use of the concept of intentionality is compatible to these theories and approaches. Morevover, Tomasello's approach may extend the investigation of more complex symbolic processes than the ones traditionally investigated by behavior psychology.

O modelo de tomasello sobre a evolução cognitivo-linguística humana
(2009-06) MOREIRA, Sylvio Állan Rocha; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de
The present paper aimed to present Tomasello's approach about human-cognition evolution and a derived theory of acquisition and development of linguistic-symbolic competences. Tomasello proposes that symbolic acquisition and development depend on an exclusively human cultural cognition derived, however, from primate biological adaptations. These approaches represent some alternatives to traditional treatments for human cognitive and linguistic-symbolic development, considering that they: (1) highlight biological and cultural features as determinants of human cognition; (2) consider human activities as essentially symbolic; (3) offer a new conception of language.
