Reviews
"Categorization is a key concept across the range of cognitive sciences, including linguistics and philosophy, yet hitherto it has been
hard to find accounts that go beyond the concerns of one or two individual disciplines. [This book] provides just the sort of interdisciplinary
approach that is necessary to synthesize knowledge from the different fields and provide the basis for future innovation." --

"Anyone concerned with language,
semantics, or categorization will want to have this encyclopedic collection." -- Professor Eleanor Rosch, Dept of Psychology, University
of California, Berkeley, USA
"This is a far-reaching, encyclopedia collection, which fully meets its major aim in bringing in, for the
first time, various disciplines together around a single theme such as categorization. The joint work invested in the collection results
in cross-fertilization of methodologies and ideas, which, as a whole, contributes greatly not only to our understanding of categorization
but of human cognition in general. One of this volume's strengths is a number of common themes running through all the chapters...this
is a very coherent and solid collection that is organized in such a ways that individual chapters can be studied independently from each
other...a valuable contribution to the concept of category/categorization, which, in addition, shows that an interdisciplineary approach
is not only powerful, but essential for studying cognitive science as a whole."
--Aleksandar Carapic (Universtiy of Belgrade) for PRAGMATICS & COGNITION
