  title={Languaging as Emergent Constraint-satisfying Self-organizing Activity: Dialogical context-completing, context-making, and context-seeking dynamics}, 
  DOI={10.18145/signifiances.v4i1.269}, 
  abstractNote={Languaging is a manifestation of intelligent human action that enables selves toseek and to co-articulate  functional  fits  between  self  and  selected  aspects  of  theself'ssocial  and  cultural environments. Selves  have  open-ended  endogenous  tendencies  that  strive  for  articulation  in social situations. The final products of these tendencies–specific utterances–have functional capacities to enter into co-articulated relations with the other functioning components of larger-scale socio-affective-cognitive assemblages. Internal processes of microgenetic construction that have their origins in the pre-linguistic infra-structure of the self are corporeally schematized and entrained to and shaped by global order parameters, e.g., lexicogrammatical pattern.Intrinsic functional constraints  on languaging activity are the work of a complex  non-optimized system (the self) that draws on available resources in context-sensitive ways in order to yield social and cognitive outcomes.Infant proto-language is a guide to the emergence of these constraints.},
