Programes Oficials de Postgrau (POPS) Master in Cognitive Science and Language       GENERAL INFORMATION Formative objectives  The program introduces students to three scientific perspectives to language research and cognition: those of the linguist, the cognitive psychologist and the analytical philosopher. The program seeks to provide interdisciplinary training so that students might apply the contributions being made in the other two fields to their own research area. The program also offers the possibility of acquiring advanced interdisciplinary academic training in these three domains.
