Этот учебник исследует способы, с помощью которых язык формирует структуру и функции человеческого разума, предлагая точку входа в увлекательную область когнитивной науки. Сосредотачиваясь в основном на синтаксических вопросах, Language in Cognition представляет собой уникальный вклад в это развивающееся направление исследований. Книга ведет студентов-бакалавров через основные вопросы лингвистики и когнитивной науки, предоставляя инструменты, которые помогут им структурированно думать об этой области. В книге рассматриваются такие вопросы, как: что значит утверждение, что лингвистика является частью когнитивных наук; как соотносятся основные свойства языка с основными свойствами других когнитивных способностей человека, таких как зрение, музыка, математика и другие ментальные конструкции; какова связь между языком и мышлением? Книга включает в себя незаменимое учебное пособие, а также обширные ссылки для дальнейшего самостоятельного изучения.
This textbook explores how language determines the structure and operation of the human brain, offering an insight into the intriguing domain of cognitive research. Focus almost exclusively on syntax relevant questions, Cedric Boeckx's Language in Cognition essays a unique comprehensive introduction to this rapidly coalescing discipline. The textbook guides undergraduates around the core inquiries of linguistics (cf. Chs 2, 3) and cognitive science (Chs 4-7) and supplies techniques which will help the students think about this field in distinctive ways. Through the analysis of language studies and how it unmasks the organising principles of the hominid brain, the migratory chapters address topical issues such as The question of whether linguistic research may be added to the bookshelf of psychologists (and sociologists, philosophers, information scientists, and others) in search of evidence on the relation between language (spoken or written) and cognition; and how the defining characteristics of language contrast with the fundamental features of other glaring cognitive capabilities such as sight, music, space perception, and all the other wafting building blocks of our psyche; and finally, the connection between communication and thought. For notable precision and depth, this textbook offers an inclusive studies guide and abundant resources to aid advanced self-directed study.

Описание книги от Cedric Boeckx
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? Includes an indispensable study guide as well as extensive references to encourage further independent study
