Language, Consciousness, Culture: Essays on Mental Structure (Jean Nicod Lectures)

This groundbreaking book, "Language, Consciousness, Culture," offers a comprehensive and integrated approach to understanding human cognition, language, consciousness, action, social cognition, and theory of mind.

Drawing on linguistics, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology, Jackendoff's innovative parallel architecture for the language faculty provides a more internal connection between language components and larger issues in cognitive neuroscience.

The book also explores the structure of complex everyday actions, examines concepts involved in understanding society and culture, and reflects on what makes human language unique.

With its interdisciplinary approach and far-reaching implications, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in advancing our understanding of human cognition and language.
