Click through to read some very interesting abstracts.
examples:
* "Taste as a gateway to Chinese cognition"
* "Visual representation in natural communication systems: what do signed languages reveal about categorisation across different modes of representation?"
* "A culture-neutral metalanguage for mental states"
* "The Logic of Child Language": (The findings are interpreted as evidence that children project default boolean meanings to natural language expressions, rather than attempting to 'learn' the meanings of these expressions from experience)
* "Plans and the Structure of Language"
