Description: This textbook
explores the ways in which language informs the structure and function of the
human mind, offering a point of entry into the fascinating territory of
cognitive science. Focusing mainly on syntactic issues, Language in Cognition
is a unique contribution to this burgeoning field of study.
Guides
undergraduate students through the core questions of linguistics and cognitive
science, and provides tools that will help them think about the field in a
structured way.
Uses the study
of language and how language informs the structure and function of the human
mind to introduce the major ideas in modern cognitive science, including its
history and controversies.
Explores
questions such as: what does it mean to say that linguistics is part of the
cognitive sciences; how do the core properties of language compare with the
core properties of other human cognitive abilities such as vision, music,
mathematics, and other mental building blocks; and what is the relationship
between language and thought?
