2009 Special Issue Language and cognition

What is the role of language in cognition? Do you think with words, or do you express your decision by words? In this article I will briefly explain the view of this field since the 1950s. Next we describe the cognitive mechanism, recent neuroscience experiments, and the corresponding mathematical models. These models are explained by biological drive of recognition. Based on the driving theory and emotional theory of Grossberg-Levine, we identified specific emotions related to cognitive needs. We clarified the engineering application of the developed technology, which significantly improved the detection of the noise pattern compared with the level of the prior art. The developed mathematical model extends to that language. Then consider the possibility of brain - brain mechanism between language and cognition. Mathematical analysis imposes restrictions on possible mechanisms. The proposed model solves several long-standing language recognition questions: How can thinking learn correct association of words and stories in a possible association of astronomical numbers? What is the difference between the brain and the mind, why do not animals talk or think like people. Recent brain imaging experiments show support for the proposed model. Discuss future theoretical and experimental studies

Cognitive linguistics considers languages ​​to be human specific cognitive abilities, so topics of particular interest in cognitive linguistics include: structural features of natural language classifications (eg prototypes, systematic ambiguity, cognition Model, psychological image, conceptual metaphor) Functional principles of language composition (such as iconicity and nature), a conceptual interface (discussed by cognitive grammar and constructive grammar) between grammar and semantics, language Experience of use and practical context, and between language and thought Relations including language relativity and conceptual universality

Language and cognition are the official journals of the British Cognitive Linguistic Society. It is a place to focus on the interface between language and cognition and to publish high quality peer-reviewed research. It can be studied from a wide range of subjects, theoretical background and analytical framework, including linguistics and cognitive science covering a wide range of topics. Published research in the journal uses an interdisciplinary, relatively, and multi-method approach to promote understanding of language and cognition and their intersections. The editor can experiment, calculate, and / or analyze the traditional fields of cognitive linguistics (eg, concept semantics, language classification, iconicity, metaphor, language relativity, concrete recognition, grammatization, structuring) Or to encourage the use of corpus-based research. Grammar) submission. Method

Cognitive linguistics provides a forum for various language studies for interactions between language and cognition. Journal focuses on language as a tool for organizing, processing and delivering information. Conceptual interface between natural language classification structural features (prototype, cognitive model, metaphor, images, etc.), functional principle of language composition (such as iconicity), conceptual interface between grammar and meaning Language including universality and language specificity The relationship between thinking and the empirical background of language use, including the cultural context, the context of discourse and the psychological environment in which language is expressed. Cognitive linguistics is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal.
