摘要

Throughout her writings Genevieve Vaughan addresses important issues in the theory of language and communication,to the ultimate end of affecting social praxis for radical social change.Her hypothesis is that mothering/being-mothered forms a non-essentialist but fundamental core process that has been neglected by the Western view of the world.Most important is that Vaughan thematizes the mothering/being-mothered paradigm in the framework of her gift logic,which is oriented by otherness logic.Restoring such a paradigm offers new light on language,communication and human relationships,thereby contributing to recovery of the properly human in terms of gift economy values.
