Ling 155: Language and Cognition

This course introduces and examines some of the foundational assumptions, practices, and methods of generative grammar in comparison to those of other areas of cognitive science, notably psychology and philosophy. This course begins with a comparison of the claims and goals of generative linguistics with its contemporaries in the mid-1900's and then moves into several central debates in the latter half of the 20th century.

Prerequisites: Either Ling 55 (Syntactic Structures) or Ling 52 (Syntax One), along with Ling 101 (Phonology One) and Ling 53 (Semantics One).

General Education Code: None
