Neurobiological approaches to language: Falsehoods and fallacies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
The conclusion that language is not really innate or modular is based on several fallacies. I show that the target article confuses communicative skills with linguistic abilities, and that its discussion of brain/language relations is replete with factual errors. I also criticize its attempt to contrast biological and linguistic principles. Finally, I argue that no case is made for the “alternative” approach proposed here.
