The language sciences—Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, and Computational Linguistics—have not been broadly represented at the Cognitive Science Society meetings of the past 30 years, but they are an important part of the heart of cognitive science. This article discusses several major themes that have dominated the controversies and consensus in the study of language and suggests the most pressing issues of the future. These themes include differences among the language science disciplines in their view of numbers and symbols and of modular and distributed cognition, and the need for an increasing prominence of questions concerning language and the brain.
语言科学——语言学、心理语言学和计算语言学——在过去30年的认知科学学会会议上并未得到广泛体现,但它们是认知科学核心的重要组成部分。本文讨论了在语言研究中主导争议和共识的几个主要主题,并提出了未来最紧迫的问题。这些主题包括语言科学各学科在数字和符号观以及模块化和分布式认知观上的差异,以及关于语言与大脑的问题日益突出的必要性。
