Abstract

The main claim of When minds converse is that speaking a language enables new cognitive and practical capacities that radically transform the human mind. The book is a rich source of inspiration for developmental and comparative cognitive science. In this commentary, I discuss some of the questions that the book raises for cognitive scientists and wonder how its armchair genealogy could be psychologized.
