`The cognitive turn in linguistics: multiple creativity in language`
Tuesday, 13 November, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
I regard research into the creative nature of language as underlying
the cognitive turn in linguistics in recent years. Formal creativity, or
in
other words, the recursive nature of language (with respect to both the
basic units, such as words, and the end products, i.e., sentences) is
what determines further domains of creativity, víz., at the level of
meanings and in the theory of mind, providing for their unlimited and
variable nature. Starting from Chomskyan principles of the formal
properties of language arguments are drawn from the theories of
metaphors and from
neurolinguistics.
We cordially invite you to the next lecture of the BME Cognitive Seminar
Series:
Date & Time: November 12, Monday, 12:00-13:00
Location: BME, XI., Egry József utca 1., T. ép 515.

Abstract
For the detection of deception the polygraph, or "lie detector", is a
widely used instrument in forensic psychology. Albeit its validity and
reliability is repeatedly questioned by the public opinion and
scientific researches as well, results of polygraph can be used as an
evidence in criminal suit. The standard methodology and the use of the
polygraph will be presented in the seminar, and theoretical dilemmas
will be discussed.

Title: Geometry as a universal mental construction
Abstract: Geometry, etymologically the “science of measuring the Earth”, is a mathematical formalization of space. Just as formal concepts of number may be rooted in an evolutionary ancient system for perceiving numerical quantity, the fathers of geometry may have been inspired by their perception of space. Is the spatial content of formal Euclidean geometry universally present in the way humans perceive space, or is Euclidean geometry a mental construction, specific to those who have received appropriate instruction? The spatial content of the formal theories of geometry may depart from spatial perception for two reasons: first, because in geometry, only some of the features of spatial figures are theoretically relevant; and second, because some geometric concepts go beyond any possible perceptual experience. Focusing in turn on these two aspects of geometry, I will present several lines of research on U.S. adults and children from the age of 3, and participants from an Amazonian culture, the Mundurucu. Almost all the aspects of geometry tested proved to be shared between these two cultures. Nevertheless, some aspects involve a process of mental construction where explicit instruction seems to play a role in the U.S., but that can still take place in the absence of instruction in geometry.
