Language cannot be reduced to biology: perspectives from neuro-developmental disorders affecting language learning.

Journal of biosciences - 1 Feb 2005

Vasanta D

Abstract excerpt

The study of language knowledge guided by a purely biological perspective prioritizes the study of syntax. The essential process of syntax is recursion--the ability to generate an infinite array of expressions from a limited set of elements. Researchers working within the biological perspective argue that this ability is possible only because of an innately specified genetic makeup that is specific to human...
