| Description: |
The concept of theory of mind (ToM), a topic in cognitive psychology, has gained increasing importance in the fields of linguistics and pragmatics. This book presents a discussion of the interface between language, communication, and theory of mind, and puts forward a proposal regarding the role of discourse connectives for this interface. |
| Synopsis: |
The concept of theory of mind (ToM), a hot topic in cognitive psychology for the past twenty-five years, has gained increasing importance in the fields of linguistics and pragmatics. However, even though the relationship between ToM and verbal communication is now recognized, the extent, causality and full implications of this connection remain mostly to be explored. This book presents a comprehensive discussion of the interface between language, communication, and theory of mind, and puts forward an innovative proposal regarding the role of discourse connectives for this interface. The proposed analysis of connectives is tested from the perspective of their acquisition, using empirical methods such as corpus analysis and controlled experiments, thus placing the study of connectives within the emerging framework of experimental pragmatics. |
