{"product_id":"cognitive-morphodynamics-per-aage-brandt-9783034304757","title":"Cognitive Morphodynamics: Dynamical Morphological Models of Constituency in Perception and Syntax","description":"This book - written in collaboration with René Doursat, director of the Complex Systems Institute, Paris - adds a new dimension to Cognitive Grammars. It provides a rigorous, operational mathematical foundation, which draws from topology, geometry and dynamical systems to model iconic image-schemas and conceptual archetypes. It defends the thesis that René Thom's \u003ci\u003emorphodynamics\u003c\/i\u003e is especially well suited to the task and allows to transform the morphological structures of perception into Gestalt-like, abstract, proto-linguistic schemas that can act as inputs into higher-level specific linguistic routines.\u003cbr\u003e Cognitive Grammars have drawn upon the view that the deep syntactic and semantic structures of language, such as prepositions and case roles, are grounded in perception and action. This study raises difficult problems, which thus far have not been addressed as a mathematical challenge. \u003ci\u003eCognitive Morphodynamics\u003c\/i\u003e shows how this gap can be filled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Per Aage Brandt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3034304757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783034304757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Per Aage Brandt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136973353215,"sku":"9783034304757","price":104.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72af2a4e-da79-493e-8a9d-c95b0d9c729f.jpg?v=1770165695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cognitive-morphodynamics-per-aage-brandt-9783034304757","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
