Ten years ago, the hegemonic idea was that language was a kind
of independent module within the mind, a sort of "print-out" of
whatever cognitive activity was taking place, but without any
influence whatsoever in that activity. While this view is still
held, evidence amassed in the last10 years suggests another view of
their inter-relationships, even though exactly which one is not
clear yet, in part because of the lack of a unified view, and in
part because of the inertia of the previous position, in part
because all this evidence must be considered together. An
increasing number of researchers are paying attention to the issues
involved as the human language specificity may provide a clue to
understand what makes humans "smart," to account for the
singularities of human cognition.
This book provides a comprehensive review of the multiple
developments that have taken place in the last 10 years on the
question of the relationships between language and thought and
integrates them into a coherent framework. It will be relevant for
anyone working in the sciences of languages.
