The role that language plays in shaping non-linguistic cognitive and perceptual systems has been the subject of much theoretical and experimental attention over the past half-century. Understanding how language interacts with non-linguistic systems can provide insight into broader constraints on cognitive and brain organization. The papers that form this volume investigate various ways in which linguistic structure can interact with and influence how speakers think about and perceive the world, and the related issue of the constraints that in turn shape linguistic representations. These theoretical and empirical contributions support deeper understanding of the interactions between language, thought, and perception, and motivate new approaches for developing directional predictions at both the neural and cognitive levels.
在过去的半个世纪里，语言在塑造非语言认知和感知系统中的作用一直是许多理论和实验关注的主题。了解语言如何与非语言系统相互作用，可以深入了解认知和大脑组织的广泛限制。本卷收录的论文探讨了语言结构以各种方式与说话者思考和感知世界的方式相互作用和影响的方式，以及反过来塑造语言表达的限制相关问题。这些理论和实证贡献支持了对语言、思维和感知之间相互作用的更深入理解，并为在神经和认知层面上进行定向预测提供了新的方法。
