Language, Biology and Cognition

Více o knize

The book explores the intricate relationship between human language and biology, challenging the prevailing views in biolinguistics and neurolinguistics. It argues that reducing language to cognitive systems and neural populations oversimplifies the complexities of linguistic performance. Instead, it posits that biological implementations of cognitive processes, rather than the structures themselves, shape linguistic forms. This work critiques the current trend of 'biologism' in linguistic sciences, making it relevant for scholars in linguistics, cognitive science, and computer science intersections.
