Is LF really a linguistic level?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (6):680-680 (2002)
| Abstract | Carruthers’ argument depends on viewing logical form as a linguistic level. But logical form is typically viewed as underpinning general purpose inference, and hence as having no particular connection to language processing. If logical form is tied directly to language, two problems arise: a logical problem concerning language acquisition and the empirical problem that aphasics appear capable of cross-modular reasoning. | |||||||||
