The emergence of logic in child language

这个项目调查了汉语和英语中逻辑表达的发展。该项目将通过确定不同类型语言共享核心逻辑属性的程度来提高跨文化意识。这些发现与语言习得和逻辑推理理论相关，并将为语言学、哲学和心理学的研究提供参考。神经科学将受益于首次在儿童中使用脑成像技术--脑磁图(MEG)获得的数据，这些数据将为评估早期干预治疗听力障碍建立基准。该项目将加强与澳大利亚东亚邻国的合作研究。

This project investigates the development of logical expressions in Chinese and English. The project will promote intercultural awareness by establishing the degree to which typologically diverse languages share core logical properties. The findings are relevant for theories of language acquisition and logical reasoning, and will inform research in Linguistics, Philosophy and Psychology. The Neurosciences will benefit from data obtained using the brain imaging technique, Magnetoencephalography (MEG), for the first time with children, and these data will establish benchmarks for assessing early intervention in treating hearing disorders. The project will enhance collaborative research with Australia's neighbours in East Asia.
