Compositionality and Concepts in Linguistics and Psychology
Hampton, James A.
Winter, Yoad
By highlighting inter-relations between experimental and theoretical work, this volume shows new ways for addressing one of the central challenges in the study of language and cognition. The articles bring together work by leading scholars and younger researchers in psychology, linguistics and philosophy, the three disciplines that converge in cognitive science. An introductory chapter lays out the necessary background on concept composition. The problem of concept composition is evoking much vibrant research in psychology, linguistics, and philosophy. Researchers in this interdisciplinary domain aim to explain how meanings of complex expressions are derived from simple lexical concepts and how they connect to concept representations. However, much of the work on concept composition has been carried out in separate departments, where cognitive psychologists concentrate on concept representations, while linguists and philosophers focus on the meaning and use of logical operators.
