Bowerman Melissa, Levinson Stephen C. Language acquisition and conceptual development

Cambridge University Press, 2001. — 602 p.This new series looks at the role of language in human cognition - language in both its universal, psychological aspects and its variable, cultural aspects. Studies will focus on the relation between semantic and conceptual categories and processes, especially as these are illuminated by cross-linguistic and cross-cultural studies, the stuly of language acquisition and conceptual development, and the study of the relation of speech production and comprehension to other kinds of behavior in cultural context. Books come principally, though not exclusively, from research associated with the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen.Jan Nuyts and Eric Pedersen (eds.)
