Neurolinguistic Relativity: How Language Flexes Human Perception and Cognition
The time has come, perhaps, to go beyond merely acknowledging that language is a core manifestation of the workings of the human mind and that it relates interactively to all aspects of thinking. The issue, thus, is not to decide whether language and human thought may be ineluctably linked (they just are), but rather to determine what the characteristics of this relationship may be and to under...
متن کاملSpecific Language Impairment: Neuropsychological and Neurolinguistic Aspects

SLI constitutes one of the more important manifestations of irregularities in the development process and is among the earliest ob served in children. SLI results from the uneven development of linguistic processes – phonological, semant...

متن کاملEntropy, Perception, and Relativity
In this paper, I expand Shannon's definition of entropy into a new form of entropy that allows integration of information from different random events. Shannon's notion of en-tropy is a special case of my more general definition of entropy. I define probability using a so-called performance function, which is de facto an exponential distribution. Assuming that my general notion of entropy refle...
