On the Evidence for Prelinguistic Concepts
Theoria 20 (3):287-297 (2010)
Abstract
Language acquisition is often said to be a process of mapping words into pre-existing concepts. If that is right, then we ought to be able to obtain experimental evidence for the existence of concepts in prelinguistic children, as intended in the work of Paul Quinn. This paper argues that Quinn's results have an alternative explanation.Author's Profile
