Tomorrow Thursday, November 15 we have our final guest lecture, by Prof. David Zubin UB Department of Linguistics and UB Center for Cognitive Science on a topic in cognitive linguistics: "Conceptual Aspects of Grammatical Gender" Zubin has suggested that *after* his talk, you might find the paper at the website below to be of interest: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/575/F07/guestlectures.html#zubin I have read the paper: It is the one I mentioned to you earlier in the semester about Zubin's work on a cognitive linguistic explanation of why some words in German are "masculine", some "feminine", and some "neuter". It can be seen as an application of Eleanor Rosch's work on categorization, which we discussed earlier in the semester. (See: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/575/F07/categories.html ) ======================================================================== II. Because we won't have much time tomorrow to discuss what you should be reading for next Tuesday, I'll use this email to tell you. Reading: if you are reading: then you should: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thagard continue reading Ch. 13, "Societies" Gardner continue reading Ch. 12, "A World Categorized" (highly relevant!) everyone MITECS article on cognitive anthropology: Sperber, Dan; & Hirschfeld, Lawrence, "Culture, Cognition, and Evolution" http://cognet.mit.edu/library/erefs/mitecs/cultureintro.html ======================================================================== III. Next Tuesday, we'll continue our discussion of the research of the UB Deictic Center Research Group, beginning with Purnima's question about how a computer would interpret "in the dark" :-) ======================================================================== IV. A reminder that I will begin the second collection of Reading Journals on Tuesday, Nov. 27: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/575/F07/EMAIL/20071112-ReadingJournals.txt
