Rescuing generative linguistics: Too little, too late?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (6):690-691 (2003)
| Abstract | Jackendoff's Foundations of Language: Brain, Meaning, Grammar, Evolution attempts to reconnect generative linguistics to the rest of cognitive science. However, by minimally acknowledging decades of work in cognitive linguistics, treating dynamical systems approaches somewhat dismissively, and clinging to certain fundamental dogma while revising others, he clearly risks satisfying no one by almost pleasing everyone. | |||||||||
