contents Word, Niche and Super-Niche: How Language Makes Minds Matter More Andy CLARK Filosofía cognition cognitive niche Niche construction enhancing structure How does language (spoken or written) impact thought? One useful way to approach this important but elusive question may be to consider language itself as a cognition-enhancing animal-built structure. To take this perspective is to view language as a kind of self-constructed cognitive niche. These self-constructed cognitive niches play, I suggest, three distinct but deeply interlocking roles in human thought and reason. Working together, these three interlocking routines radically transform the human mind, and mark a genu- ine discontinuity in the space of animal minds. 2005 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339730798002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
