John R. Taylor

The Mental Corpus: How Language Is Represented in the Mind

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

John Taylor argues that an individual's knowledge of a language is a repository of memories. Similarities between items lead to generalizations then used to generate new expressions. He makes a compelling contribution to understanding language and the operations of the mind. The book will appeal to linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists.
