The Emergence of Meaning - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
Crain, Stephen (Macquarie University, Sydney)
Using the examples of English and Mandarin Chinese, Crain demonstrates that the underlying expressions and structures in these typologically different languages directly correlate to those of classical logic. Moreover Crain presents experimental data which shows the emergence of these concepts in the languages spoken by young children.
