Adele Goldberg will teach in the Program in Humanistic Studies during the 2021–2022 academic year. Human beings come to know a vast amount of specific and general information about the language(s) that they speak. Instead of assuming that we must bring to the task knowledge that is specific to language in order for us to accomplish this task, Goldberg’s research explores the idea that it may well be possible to learn language by using our general cognitive processes.
