This book traces from antiquity to the present the concept of the sentence as a fundamental unit of human language and cognition and situates it in different languages and linguistic and philosophical theories. It shows how the sentence figures as a basic unit of meaning in its various uses and sound patterns, and how it relates to current topics of technological and conceptual significance such as computation, cognition, reference, predication, causation, metaphor, and creativity. | The Sentence in Language and Cognition by Tista Bagchi, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
