- Summary:
- 'Sentence First, Arguments Afterward' collects the important papers of Lila Gleitman, a pioneer of the field of cognitive science. The text explores language from the perspective of language acquisition, linguistic relativity, and the very nature of syntax and semantics. Gleitman reveals insights that are important both for their perspective on the history of the field and for current practice in the study of language and thought.
