The concept of language is an elusive one, and the concept of mind is even more elusive. The purpose of the Nobel Symposium in 1994 on language and mind was to establish a forum for the discussion of the fundamental relation between these two concepts in a creative perspective. Representatives of various fields of knowledge, arts and research were gathered in an interdisciplinary setting, focusing on five aspects: literature, general linguistics, psycholinguistics, neurology and artificial intelligence.
