Description
Categorization, the basic cognitive process of arranging objects into categories, is a fundamental process in human and machine intelligence
and is central to investigations and research in cognitive science. Until now, categorization has been approached from singular disciplinary
perspectives with little overlap or communication between the disciplines involved (Linguistics, Psychology, Philosophy, Neuroscience,
Computer Science, Cognitive Anthropology). Henri Cohen and Claire Lefebvre have gathered together a stellar collection of contributors
in this unique, ambitious attempt to bring together converging disciplinary and conceptual perspectives on this topic.
"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. The Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science provides
just the sort of interdisciplinary approach that is necessary to synthesize knowledge from the different fields and provide the basis
for future innovation."
Professor Bernard Comrie, Department of Linguistics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology,
Germany
"Anyone concerned with language, semantics, or categorization will want to have this encyclopedic collection."

Audience
Researchers and graduate students, scientists and practitioners.
