Morten H. Christiansen (born 1963[1]) is a Danish cognitive scientist known for his work on the evolution of language, and connectionist modeling of human language acquisition. He is the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor in the Department of Psychology and Director of the Cognitive Science of Language Lab at Cornell University as well Senior Scientist at the Haskins Labs[2][3] and Professor in the School of Communication and Culture at Aarhus University.[4] He finished a PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 1995.[1]
His research has produced evidence for considering language to be a cultural system that is shaped by general-purpose cognitive and learning mechanisms, rather than from innate language-specific mental structures.[5][6]
