LANGUAGE AND COGNITION
University Seminar #681
What
can the study of language contribute to our understanding of human nature? This
question motivates research spanning many intellectual constituencies, for its
range exceeds the scope of any one of the core disciplines. The technical study
of language has developed across anthropology, electrical engineering,
linguistics, neurology, philosophy, psychology, and sociology, and influential
research of the recent era of cognitive science has occurred when disciplinary
boundaries were transcended. The seminar is a forum for convening this research
community of broadly differing expertise, within and beyond the University. As
a meeting ground for regular discussion of current events and fundamental
questions, the University Seminar on Language and Cognition will direct its
focus to the latest breakthroughs and the developing concerns of the scientific
community studying language.
