Sinopsis

Four chapters in the book's first section, Matters Mainly Psychological, describe empirical observations that explore how a child copes with the fact that many different name-like words can be applied to a single object.

A second major section, Matters Mainly Linguistic, contains chapters on phonology, the learning of grammatical categories, the definite and indefinite articles, and the plural. A third section, Matters Mainly Philosophical, focuses entirely on the complex issues of reference and meaning. A final chapter reflects on the implications of the book for developmental psychology.

John Macnamara is a world-recognized developmental psychologist and Professor of Psychology at McGill University. An MIT Press/Bradford Book.

Críticas

"Macnamara promises us that a careful treatment of how children learn to use nouns will raise some of the deepest questions to be found in cognitive psychology, linguistics, and philosophy of mind, and will contribute to answers to these questions as well. In his new book, "Names for Things, "Macnamara keeps that promise."--Steven Pinker, Stanford University
