The Language Organ
Linguistics as Cognitive Physiology
Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University
David W. Lightfoot, Georgetown University, Washington DC
"A superb overview of the logic of language and its basis in the human
mind." --Steven Pinker, Professor of Psychology, MIT
This study treats human language as the manifestation of a faculty of
the mind, which is seen as a mental organ whose nature is determined
by human biology and whose functional properties should be explored as
physiology explores the functional properties of physical organs. The
book 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, what is known about its
relation to the brain.
