{"product_id":"metagrammar-erik-camayd-freixas-9783031923364","title":"Metagrammar: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving in the Age of Artificial Intelligence","description":"This book highlights the grammatical structure of thought and behavior as a blueprint for scientific discovery and innovation. It defines the new concept of \u003cem\u003emetagrammar\u003c\/em\u003e as the unnoticed transfer of linguistic functions and skills to and from our interaction with the world. Viewing grammar as \u003cem\u003elanguage engineering\u003c\/em\u003e, the author argues that metagrammar charts a new mode of reasoning central to critical thinking, problem solving and goal setting in all areas of human endeavor. He shows how metagrammatical structures and genres mediate in the conceptualization of phenomena, as well as in the production of plans, policies, systems and designs. This uniquely human capability is contrasted with mechanistic models in computers and AI that threaten to replace human agency and decision making. This book will be of interest to the educated reader who wants to keep abreast of transformational research in language and cognition as it applies to self and society, current events, digital media and emerging technologies, from artificial intelligence to autonomous systems, from a human-centered perspective. It will be particularly relevant to organizations such as the Modern Languages Association, for its focus on linguistic and narrative theory, cultural studies and critical theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Camayd-Freixas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031923367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031923364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.88d","brand":"Erik Camayd-Freixas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47136546586879,"sku":"9783031923364","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a989f12-14ba-427c-9750-1b10a7a3bc9e.jpg?v=1755023676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metagrammar-erik-camayd-freixas-9783031923364","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
