What Complexity Differences Reveal About Domains in Language
An important distinction between phonology and syntax has been overlooked. All phonological patterns belong to the regular region of the Chomsky Hierarchy, but not all syntactic patterns do. We argue that the hypothesis that humans employ distinct learning mechanisms for phonology and syntax currently offers the best explanation for this difference.
متن کاملWhat can individual differences reveal about face processing?
Faces are probably the most widely studied visual stimulus.

متن کاملGenetics and the Evolution of Language: What Genetic Studies Reveal about the Evolution of Language
In this paper I argue that genetic studies of language provide insights about the evolution of language. The finding that genetic factors affect all aspects of language is consistent with theories that argue that language is at least partially the result of innate factors, and that the factors have evolved. Genetic factors appear to play a greater role for syntax and phonology than for the lexi...
متن کاملWhat Do Language Disorders Reveal about Brain-Language Relationships? From Classic Models to Network Approaches.
Studies of language disorders have shaped our understanding of brain-language relationships over the last two centuries. This article provides a review of this research and how our thinking has changed over the years regarding how the brain processes language. In the 19th century, a series of famous case studies linked distinct speech and language functions to specific portions of the left hemi...
