Sentence First, Arguments Afterward collects the important papers of Lila Gleitman, a pioneer of the field of cognitive science. The book explores language from the perspective of language acquisition, linguistic relativity, and the very nature of syntax and semantics. Gleitman reveals insights that are important both for their perspective on the history of the field and for current practice in the study of language and thought.
Sentence First, Arguments Afterward collects the most important papers of Lila Gleitman''s career, spanning over 50 years of work. These papers explore the nature of linguistic knowledge in children and adults by asking how children acquire language, how language and thought are related, the nature of concepts, and the role of syntax in shaping the direction of word learning. With an exclusive foreword by Noam Chomsky and an essay by Jeffrey Lidz contextualizing Gleitman''s work in the emergence of the field of cognitive science, this book promises to be valuable both for its historical perspective on language and its acquisition and for the lessons it offers to current practitioners.
