Syntax, or, the embryogenesis of meaning
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (6):1027-1028 (1999)
| Abstract | Syntax is better viewed as the dynamics of a morphogenetic field on a semantic universe of “content” words. This may take widely different forms, making the acquisition of any language by an aspiring speaker an entirely new experience. The existence of an underlying “universal syntax” might be illusory. | |||||||||
