چکیده
This paper is meant to be an introduction to connectionism for linguists. It covers fundamentals of connectionism and applications of connectionism to human language processing.

A quick and rather naive answer is that both linguistics and connectionism are branches of cognitive science, the science of human mind. However, there seem to be two main sources of skepticism against connectionism.
