Abstract
The psychology of human concepts is concerned with the structure of concepts such as FISH, PERSON, LIKES and so on. The stock of concepts that we are assumed to have corresponds rather directly to the stock of predicates of natural language. The nature of this relationship between human concepts and natural language is central to research on animal concepts, since, unless there is some way of understanding concepts that is independent of their connection with natural language, nonlinguistic animals cannot have concepts.
