Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science

Meeting Description:

What are the primitives of thought? Guided by this question, the
nature of mental representation has been at the center of
cross-disciplinary research in the cognitive sciences since their very
inception. One of the most prominent answers to that question is based
on the idea that there exists a language-like system of mental
representations which vehicles and structures human thinking. This is
known as the Language of Thought (LoT) hypothesis. In recent years,
researchers have started bringing tools from different disciplines to
further investigate the LoT hypothesis. This includes psychology,
linguistics, and computer sciences among others.

This workshop brings together experts from linguistics, philosophy,
and cognitive sciences, who have made recent groundbreaking
contributions to various issues surrounding the LoT hypothesis
