SBY5017 | Language and Mind | 3+0+0 | 8 |
This course provides a general introduction to the 'Principles and Modifiers' theory proposed by Noam Chomsky and other researchers in the 1980s, and focuses on the problem of how the process of the child's mother tongue acquisition is treated within this model. The study of the syntax of natural languages within the framework of 'Principles and Modifiers' theory (or any other formal linguistic theory) is important for Cognitive Science because the main purpose of these theories is to present formally a set of knowledge that resides in the human mind. Our starting assumption is that speakers' knowledge of their native language has operational commonalities with other cognitive processes in the mind. |
