Abstract:

In 'The Sequential Imperative' William Edmondson explains how deep study of
linguistics – from phonetics to pragmatics – can be the basis for
understanding the organization of behaviour in any organism with a brain. The
work demonstrates that Cognitive Science needs to be anchored in a linguistic
setting. Only then can Cognitive Scientists reach out to reconsider the nature
of consciousness and to appreciate the functionality of all brains.

The core functionality of the brain – any brain, any species, any time – is
delivery and management of the unavoidable bi-directional transformation
between brain states and activity – the Sequential Imperative. Making it all
work requires some general cognitive principles and close attention to detail.
The book sets out the case in broad terms but also incorporates significant
detail where necessary.
