Language divides the world through the symbols of words. So how do children learn language? How do children change as a result of having a language? To what extent does our thought depend on language? In what degree are linguistic categories diverse across different languages? In this class, based on various experiments in cognitive science, we will consider the mechanisms of children's language acquisition, the development of the concept, the relationship between language and conceptual learning, and the relationship between language and thinking.
On-campus class will be usually held, but there is a possibility that some on-line classes may be held, due to the availability of guests.
