Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science 1st Edition by Henri Cohen (PDF)

Description

Categorization, the basic cognitive process of arranging objects into categories, is a fundamental process in human and machine intelligence and is central to investigations and research in cognitive science. Until now, categorization has been approached from singular disciplinary perspectives with little overlap or communication between the disciplines involved (Linguistics, Psychology, Philosophy, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Cognitive Anthropology). Henri Cohen and Claire Lefebvre have gathered together a stellar collection of contributors in this unique, ambitious attempt to bring together converging disciplinary and conceptual perspectives on this topic.”Categorization is a key concept across the range of cognitive sciences, including linguistics and philosophy, yet hitherto it has been hard to find accounts that go beyond the concerns of one or two individual disciplines. The Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science provides just the sort of interdisciplinary approach that is necessary to synthesize knowledge from the different fields and provide the basis for future innovation.” Professor Bernard Comrie, Department of Linguistics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany”Anyone concerned with language, semantics, or categorization will want to have this encyclopedic collection.” Professor Eleanor Rosch, Dept of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, USA

⭐Thanks to everybody who collaborated to make this text possible

⭐I am a fluent speaker and student of the Palikur language. This book, basing its conclusions on the work of Michel Launey, presents the Palikur language as one whose lexicon underdifferentiates with respect to the syntactic categories that play a role in the syntax. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Palikur language precisely differentiates syntactic categories to an extreme degree. I am sorry to say that the bases for the mistaken conclusion in this book were nonsense sentences. Not one of them is a “real” Palikur sentence. It may be that the rest of the book is excellent, but I couldn’t overlook the misrepresentaton of the Palikur language, which I so deeply admire.

⭐This book has 49 chapters of exhaustive discussions regarding the nature of categories in the brain, computationally, linguistically. And in some ways this is the weakness of the book. It has no index section. Thus, if you are looking for specific information it is impossible to find. I needed some specific information, and due to its volume, the book was of no use. Hopefully the authors will take the time and create an index whenever they do a second edition.
