Explore the intersection of cognitive science and linguistics in this comprehensive lecture delivered by Mark Johnson from Johns Hopkins University's Center for Language & Speech Processing. Delve into fundamental concepts that bridge the gap between how the human mind processes language and the formal structures underlying linguistic systems. Examine theoretical frameworks that explain language acquisition, processing, and representation in the brain, while investigating computational models that simulate cognitive linguistic phenomena. Learn about current research methodologies used to study the relationship between cognition and language, including experimental approaches and data analysis techniques. Discover how insights from cognitive science inform our understanding of syntax, semantics, phonology, and pragmatics, and how linguistic theories contribute to broader questions about human cognition. Gain exposure to interdisciplinary approaches that combine psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and linguistics to address fundamental questions about the nature of human language and thought.
