Abstract:

By highlighting relations between experimental and theoretical work, this
volume explores new ways of 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. An
introductory chapter lays out the background on concept composition, a problem
that is stimulating much new research in cognitive science. Researchers in
this interdisciplinary domain aim to explain how meanings of complex
expressions are derived from simple lexical concepts and to show how these
meanings connect to concept representations. Traditionally, much of the work
on concept composition has been carried out within separate disciplines, where
cognitive psychologists have concentrated on concept representations, and
linguists and philosophers have focused on the meaning and use of logical
operators. This volume demonstrates an important change in this situation,
where convergence points between these three disciplines in cognitive science
are emerging and are leading to new findings and theoretical insights.
