Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Reprintings of 13 of Pinker's academic papers, dating from 1979 to 2010, in cognitive science and evolutionary psychology. A couple of them take issue with Chomsky's Minimalist Program and denial that human language developed by natural selection. As might be expected, his (Pinker's) writing here is considerably drier than in his more broadly targeted books. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Pinker's seminal research explores the workings of language and its connections to cognition, perception, social relationships, child development, human evolution, and theories of human nature. This eclectic collection spans Pinker's thirty-year career, exploring his favorite themes in greater depth and scientific detail. It includes thirteen of Pinker's classic articles, ranging over topics such as language development in children, mental imagery, the recognition of shapes, the computational architecture of the mind, the meaning and uses of verbs, the evolution of language and cognition, the nature-nurture debate, and the logic of innuendo and euphemism. Each outlines a major theory or takes up an argument with another prominent scholar, such as Stephen Jay Gould, Noam Chomsky, or Richard Dawkins. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
