Detailed explanation-1: -Language accumulates cultural wisdom; cognition develops mental representations modeling surrounding world and adapts cultural knowledge to concrete circumstances of life. Language is acquired from surrounding language “ready-made” and therefore can be acquired early in life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Language is the way we communicate with each other using words, sentences, grammar and syntax. It has to do with words. Cognition is how we think, what we think, and why we think. It has to do with our thoughts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Around 1960 when the Universalist Theory of Language became popular, the relativity theory was heavily criticized since Universalists believed linguistic structures to be innate and all cognitive processes to be universal in human beings and therefore not influenceable by language.
Detailed explanation-4: -Language and Cognition is a venue for the publication of high-quality empirical research focusing on the interface between language and cognition. It is open to research from the full range of subject disciplines, theoretical backgrounds, and analytical frameworks that populate linguistics and the cognitive sciences.
