The Question of Referentiality

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most theorists have offered different accounts of reference fixing for names, demonstratives, and indexicals.

Finding the Words: How Does the Aging Brain Process Language? A Focused Review of Brain Connectivity and Compensatory Pathways

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract As people age, there is a natural decline in cognitive functioning and brain structure.

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.

This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.
