Sentence First, Arguments Afterward collects the most important
papers of Lila Gleitman's career, spanning over 50 years of work.
These papers explore the nature of linguistic knowledge in children
and adults by asking how children acquire language, how language
and thought are related, the nature of concepts, and the role of
syntax in shaping the direction of word learning. With an exclusive
foreword by Noam Chomsky and an essay by Jeffrey Lidz
contextualizing Gleitman's work in the emergence of the field of
cognitive science, this book promises to be valuable both for its
historical perspective on language and its acquisition and for the
lessons it offers to current practitioners.
