雷·杰肯多夫的《语言、意识、文化》是人类认知理论发展的一个突破。它将引起广泛的认知科学家的兴趣，包括语言学家，哲学家，心理语言学家，神经科学家，认知人类学家和进化心理学家。Jackendoff认为，语言学已经从其他认知科学中孤立出来，至少部分原因是主流生成语法所假设的基于句法的架构。他提出了另一种语言能力的平行架构，允许语言成分的更大内部整合，并更自然地与认知神经科学中的更大问题联系起来，如语言处理，语言与视觉的联系，以及语言的进化。将这种方法扩展到语言能力之外，Jackendoff提出了一个令人满意的意识理论的更清晰的标准，检查了复杂的日常行为的结构，并调查了个人对社会和文化的理解所涉及的概念。这些领域中的每一个都被用来反思人类语言的独特之处以及思维的更普遍属性所带来的问题。《语言、意识、文化》一书将杰肯多夫的概念语义学理论扩展到人类思维的两个最重要的领域：社会认知和心理理论。Jackendoff的正式框架使他能够在大量的文献中建立新的联系，并发现以前没有认识到的新的区别和概括。该方法的广度将促进跨学科的对话;愿景是对人性有更丰富的理解。
Ray Jackendoff's Language, Consciousness, Culture represents a breakthrough in developing an integrated theory of human cognition. It will be of interest to a broad spectrum of cognitive scientists, including linguists, philosophers, psycholinguists, neuroscientists, cognitive anthropologists, and evolutionary psychologists. Jackendoff argues that linguistics has become isolated from the other cognitive sciences at least partly because of the syntax-based architecture assumed by mainstream generative grammar. He proposes an alternative parallel architecture for the language faculty that permits a greater internal integration of the components of language and connects far more naturally to such larger issues in cognitive neuroscience as language processing, the connection of language to vision, and the evolution of language. Extending this approach beyond the language capacity, Jackendoff proposes sharper criteria for a satisfactory theory of consciousness, examines the structure of complex everyday actions, and investigates the concepts involved in an individual's grasp of society and culture. Each of these domains is used to reflect back on the question of what is unique about human language and what follows from more general properties of the mind. Language, Consciousness, Culture extends Jackendoff's pioneering theory of conceptual semantics to two of the most important domains of human thought: social cognition and theory of mind. Jackendoff's formal framework allows him to draw new connections among a large variety of literatures and to uncover new distinctions and generalizations not previously recognized. The breadth of the approach will foster cross-disciplinary conversation; the vision is to develop a richer understanding of human nature.
