Ray Jackendoff Boeken

This groundbreaking work presents a holistic theory connecting the sounds, structure, and meaning of language to cognitive processes in the mind and brain. Ray Jackendoff explores the intricate relationships within linguistics and cognitive science, offering fresh insights into how language functions and its impact on human cognition. The book is a significant contribution to understanding the interplay between linguistic elements and mental processes.

A profoundly arresting integration of the faculties of the mind - of how we think, speak, and see the world. Written with an informality that belies the originality of its insights and the radical nature of its conclusions this is the author's most important book since his groundbreaking Foundations of Language in 2002.

This volume offers a major reconceptualization of linguistic theory through the lens of morphology, crucially collapsing the distinction between the lexicon and the grammar. This approach accounts for both productive and non- productive morphological phenomena, and moreover integrates linguistic theory into psycholinguistics and human cognition.

An integrative approach to human cognition that encompasses the domains of language, consciousness, action, social cognition, and theory of mind that will foster cross-disciplinary conversation among linguists, philosophers, psycholinguists, neuroscientists, cognitive anthropologists, and evolutionary psychologists.
