Research in Cognitive Semantics
This page is intended as a place for me to put references to topics that come up in class, so students can look into the subject if they find it intriguing. Students are welcome to contribute references to semantics-related research they come across as well, both URLs and references to print publications.
Empirical Dream Research
[In Ling/Psych 315/515 we will not talk about dreams because they are not a linguistic topic per se. But in the 2006 class the issue of the cognition underlying dreams came up in the context of discussion of visual imagery and its relation to language, and I came across the following book reference and a useful review of the work. ]This review of a recent book on dream research describes recent discoveries on dreams from a cognitive point of view.
