From broca's aphasia to the language module: A transformation too large?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (1):49-50 (2000)
| Abstract | This commentary focuses on the larger implications of Grodzinsky's hypothesis. Although Grodzinsky argues persuasively that the syntactic comprehension deficits in Broca's aphasia involve mainly an inability to comprehend sentences requiring a transformational movement of phrasal constituents, his larger claim for a distinct and dedicated “language organ” in the left hemisphere is much less tenable. | |||||||||
