General Cognitive Principles: The Structure of Behaviour and The Sequential ImperativeRichard Hudsonlast changed 23 November 2009 Bibliographical informationThis is a comment on a paper to be published in the first issue of International Journal of Mind, Brain and Cognition , 2010 AbstractI agree with Edmondson about the need to find general cognitive principles which apply to language as well as other areas of cognition; but I disagree over his specific proposal about temporal ordering. I argue that large-scale events are ordered pairwise, rather than related to a shared time-line as he claims. The shared time-line may be appropriate for small-scale events such as those inside a single word. |
