Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

J. A. Fodor has forcefully argued that a good deal of work in cognition(psychology, AI, linguistics, philosophy of mind) implies or presupposes the existence of a "language of thought" or mentalese.

Furthermore, the language of thought, though different from any natural language, would share various features with natural languages-particularly as far as its expressive power is concerned.
