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. 606 $aBiolinguistics 606 $aCognition 615 0$aBiolinguistics. 615 0$aCognition. 676 $a401 700 $aAnderson$b Stephen R$0162681 701 $aLightfoot$b David$0175060 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826134603321 996 $aThe language organ$94184645 997 $aUNINA
