Jerry fodor's theory of the language of thought as a communicational and mental processDoğan, NevaİletişimBilim Felsefesi ve TarihiFelsefeDil ve Dil BilimEdebi Teori ve EleştiriThe concepts of thought, language and communication are concepts that are connected and interact with each other in ways that cannot be explained without reference to each other. Considering that communication begins with oneself, subject to a mental process, it is possible to say that it cannot be done separately from the act of thinking and independently of language. It is obvious that thinking, which we call human communication with oneself, affects how we use language, and the way we use language affects our perception of the world. Jerry Fodor, an American cognitive scientist and language philosopher, proposed the Language of Thought Theory, which states that before people communicate, they speak in a language that he calls computational/mathematical. Explaining this in terms of input and output to the processor, as in artificial intelligence, Fodor argues that the human mind works in the same way. The computational mental processes that Fodor defends are completely rejected by Searle on the grounds that they are completely unconscious. Since understanding Fodor and his arguments requires an understanding of his predecessor Chomsky, this study first explains Chomsky's hypotheses about language production. Then, by relating Fodor's discourses on language and thought to linguist Wittgenstein and philosopher of mind Searl, the relevance of the communicative process to consciousness, language and thought is discussed.2023Review Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/20328https://doi.org/10.19145/e-gifder.1347657trGümüşhane Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi Elektronik Dergisiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/reviewhttps://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/20328
