Pragmatics & Cognition is an interdisciplinary journal seeking to bring together such disciplines as philosophy, linguistics, semiotics, cognitive science, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, ethology, and cognitive anthropology, among others. The journal seeks to explore relations of all sorts between
semiotic systems as used by humans, animals and machines, in
connection with mental activities: logical and causal
dependence; condition of acquisition, development of loss;
modeling, simulation of formalization, shared or separate
biological and neurological bases; social and cultural
variation; aesthetic expression; historical development; etc.
Pragmatics & Cognition's basic assumption is that the proper
understanding of mental life and inter-personal relations
requires an intensive and thoughtful exchange of views across
disciplines.
