Afferent isn't efferent, and language isn't logic, either
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (3):286-287 (2003)
| Abstract | Hurford's argument suffers from two major weaknesses. First, his account of neural mechanisms suggests no place in the brain where the two halves of a predicate-argument structure could come together. Second, his assumption that language and cognition must be based on logic is neither necessary nor particularly plausible, and leads him to some unlikely conclusions. | |||||||||
