Recursion: A Computational Investigation Into the Representation and Processing of Language
Oxford University Press (2017)
Abstract
The book examines one of the most contested topics in linguistics and cognitive science: the role of recursion in language. It offers a precise account of what recursion is, what role it should play in cognitive theories of human knowledge, and how it manifests itself in the mental representations of language and other cognitive domains.Other Versions
