Cognición: denominador común para los estudios del lenguaje en las ciencias cognitivas

This paper describes a revision of proposals about the link between language and cognition, starting with some authors of the late 19th century. Subsequently, several approaches were developed about some disciplines of the cognitive sciences. The objectives are to highlight interdisciplinary influence on the formation of theoretical support and to differentiate between two approaches that coexist in linguistics under the auspices of a common denominator, cognitive vision, namely generative proposal and cognitive linguistics. After comparing both viewpoints, it can be concluded that ideas about cognition are even opposite. In this research, it is defended the need to differentiate terminologically between these cognitive visions and it is proposed to refer to them respectively as independent and interdependent (from the cognitive system).
