Opis

This is a one volume overview of how the structure of language influences the way we think and how the organization of the brain influences language. The contributors examine these issues from a variety of distinct disciplinary vantage points ranging from linguistics and philosophy to psychology and neuroscience. The impetus for such an interdisciplinary work comes from the editors' belief that major insights in science result from interaction and cross-fertilization between the discrete conceptualizations and approaches that occur within individual disciplines.
