APPROACHES AND SIGNIFICANCE OF DISTINGUISHING LANGUAGE FROM COGNITION

Abstract

Abstract: This article investigates the methodologies and importance of delineating language from cognition. It examines the theoretical frameworks and empirical investigations that have enhanced comprehension of the interplay between language and cognition. The research approach encompasses an exhaustive examination of extant literature, encompassing theoretical paradigms and experimental results. The analysis elucidates the manifold manners in which language and cognition intersect, underscoring the necessity of acknowledging their discrete functions in human cognition and conduct. The findings accentuate the relevance of this differentiation within cognitive science and its ramifications for the processes of language acquisition, evolution, and comprehension.
