It surveys the nature of the language faculty in its various aspects: the systems of sounds, words, and syntax, the development of language in the child and historically, and what is known about its relation to the brain. It discusses the kinds of work that can be carried out in these areas that will contribute to an understanding of the human language organ. This book will appeal to students and researchers in linguistics, and is written to be accessible to colleagues in other disciplines dealing with language as well as to readers with an interest in general science and the nature of the human mind.BiolinguisticsCognitionBiolinguistics.Cognition.401Anderson Stephen R162681Lightfoot David175060MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826134603321The language organ4184645UNINA
