A linguistic module for integrating the senses, or a house of cards?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (6):681-682 (2002)
| Abstract | Carruthers invokes a number of controversial assumptions to support his thesis. Most are questionable and unnecessary to investigate the wider relevance of language in cognition. A number of research programs (e.g., interactionist psycholinguistics and cognitive linguistics) have for years pursued a similar thesis and provide a more empirically grounded framework for investigating language’ cognitive functions. | |||||||||
