Language shapes how we think, learn, and communicate, yet its workings remain remarkably complex. Empirical Insights into Language and Cognition brings together ten studies that examine these complexities from multiple angles. The chapters explore bilingual word associations, second-language learning, sentence processing, and the cognitive foundations of translation, demonstrating the richness of empirical research in linguistics. Drawing on methods such as experiments, corpora, and observational data, the volume reveals how different approaches can converge on the same central question: how does language interact with the mind? Accessible yet rigorous, this book offers an engaging overview of current work in linguistics. It is a useful resource for students, researchers, and anyone curious about the scientific study of language and cognition.
