Abstract
The first part of the paper introduces aspects of phenomenological psychology and examines them as to their contribution to a new concept of cultural studies. The phenomenological approach helps us to see the separation of person, body, language, and culture as artificial. Working with this approach we gain a fresh perspective on language and culture. We will be able to see the body of a person as the centre of language, emotions and meaning. The explanation of this unity will allow us to gain a new understanding of culture. In the second part I will show how this phenomenological concept of culture implies at the same time a new concept of language. The final part of this paper shows how these findings can be integrated into a programme for the teaching of language awareness.
