Language and Cognition
Language and Cognition designates the cognitive science research environment at the faculty of Arts at Umeå University. Its centre of gravity is in the fields of philosophy and linguistics. Research areas in this environment include philosophy of mind, logic, philosophy of language, linguistic and conceptual development, and semantics. We welcome projects in these areas, but also other projects that focus on issues concerning language, perception, thinking, memory and action.
