Event Representation in Language and Cognition

Event Representation in Language and Cognition examines new research into how the mind deals with the experience of events. Empirical research into the cognitive processes involved when people view events and talk about them is still a young field. The chapters by leading experts draw on data from the description of events in spoken and signed languages, first and second language acquisition, co-speech gesture and eye movements during language production, and from non-linguistic categorization and other tasks. The book highlights newly found evidence for how perception, thought, and language constrain each other in the experience of events. It will be of particular interest to linguists, psychologists, and philosophers, as well as to anyone interested in the representation and processing of events.
Event Cognition

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Release Date: 2014
We understand events as the things that happen to us, what we do, what we anticipate with pleasure or dread, and what we remember with fondness or regret. In this book, Gabriel A. Radvansky and Jeffrey M. Zacks provide the first integrated account of how people perceive, remember, and think about events. The authors bring together data from a wide range of sources and approach it using lively, accessible language suitable for a multidisciplinary audience.
Language and Conceptualization
To what extent is conceptualisation based on linguistic representation? And to what extent is it variable across cultures, communities or even individuals? Of crucial importance in the attempt to develop a comprehensive theory of human cognition, these remain amongst the most difficult of questions in the cognitive sciences. This volume brings together ten new contributions from leading scholars working in a wide cross-section of disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, psychology and philosophy.
