Grammar, Geometry, and Brain

This original study considers the effects of language and meaning on the brain. Jens Erik Fenstad—an expert in the fields of recursion theory, nonstandard analysis, and natural language semantics—combines current formal semantics with a geometric structure in order to trace how common nouns, properties, natural kinds, and attractors link with brain dynamics.

Jens Erik Fenstad is professor emeritus in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oslo and a member of the Norwegian Academy of Letters and Science and of Academia Europaea.
