Language, Biology and Cognition

Más información sobre el libro

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, the author posits that biological implementations of cognitive processes, rather than the structures themselves, shape linguistic forms. This work critiques the trend of 'biologism' in linguistic studies, making it relevant for scholars in linguistics, cognitive sciences, and their intersections with computer science.
