LING 4160 - Language and Cognition

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Linguistics

Description:

This course will explore different ways in which the language-cognition relationship has been approached. Among the questions to be dealt with are the following: is language a prerequisite for certain kinds of thought? Does the language we speak shape our thinking? What kinds of roles does language play in cognition? How do answers to these questions inform broader debates about the nature of mind and language? We'll address these questions by looking at writings by linguists, psychologists, philosophers and anthropologists, among others.
