In this course we will consider some fundamental questions at the intersection of language and mind (cognitive science). The four big topics we will focus on are:

Hypotheses about innateness and modularity of language.

Language and thought: the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis

Connectionist vs. symbolic models of language learning and processing

The nature of conceptual semantic knowledge; implicit vs. explicit learning of languages
