Cognitive Units in Linguistics: Unraveling the Foundations of Language Comprehension and Production

Abstract

Linguistics has long sought to understand the building blocks of language, and one pivotal concept in this pursuit is that of cognitive units. These units represent the fundamental components of language that facilitate both comprehension and production. In this article, we delve into the world of cognitive units, examining their various types, functions, and implications for our understanding of language processing. From phonemes to constructions, we explore how these cognitive units underpin the intricate dance of linguistic communication.
