Natural logic and baby LoTH.
Irene Canudas-GrabolosaAna Martín-SalgueroLuca L BonattiPublished in: The Behavioral and brain sciences (2023)
Language-of-thought hypothesis (LoTH) is having a profound impact on cognition studies. However, much remains unknown about its basic primitives and generative operations. Infant studies are fundamental, but methodologically very challenging. By distilling potential primitives from work in natural-language semantics, an approach beyond the corset of standard formal logic may be undertaken. Still, the road ahead is challenging and long.
