Is human language just another neurobiological specialization?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 19 (4):649-650 (1996)
Abstract
One can disagree with Müller that it is neurobiologically questionable to suppose that human language is innate, specialized, and species-specific, yet agree that the precise brain mechanisms controlling language in any individual will be influenced by epigenesis and genetic variability, and that the interplay between inherited and acquired aspects of linguistic capacity deserves to be investigated.Author's Profile
