Our view of the interface is constrained by substance-free generative phonological assumptions and by insights gained from psycholinguistic and phonetic models of speech production. To distinguish transduction of abstract phonological units into planned neuromuscular patterns from the biomechanics of speech production usually associated with physiological phonetics, we have termed this interface theory ‘Cognitive Phonetics’ (CP). The inner workings of CP are described in terms of Marr’s (1982/2010) tri-level approach, which we used to construct a linking hypothesis relating formal phonology to neurobiological activity. Potential neurobiological correlates supporting various parts of CP are presented. We also argue that CP augments the study of certain phonetic phenomena, most notably coarticulation, and suggest that some phenomena usually considered phonological (e.g., naturalness and gradience) receive better explanations within CP.","PeriodicalId":54041,"journal":{"name":"Biolinguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44956139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lorenzo","doi":"10.5964/bioling.9133","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5964/bioling.9133","url":null,"abstract":"In 2003, Jerry Fodor published Hume Variations (HV), a book sitting astride The Mind Doesn’t Work That Way (Fodor 2000) and LOT 2 (Fodor 2008). Sadly, we now know that the latter would end up being Fodor’s last solo effort to defend the Representational/Computational Theory of Mind (RCTM) in book format. Thereafter two collaborative endeavors ensued, the widely vituperated What Darwin Got Wrong (Fodor & Piattelli-Palmarini 2010) and the sketchy Minds Without Meanings (Fodor & Pylyshyn 2015). The former could easily be connected with Fodor (2000) as striking the, in our opinion, definitive blow on evolutionary psychology, while the latter elaborated on Fodor’s (2008) referentialist account of the content of intentional states, hinting, also in our opinion, at the basis of what might eventually constitute a solution for this hard problem—we held our breaths awaiting the next season, only to recently know that it would not be shot. This apparently leaves HV in a kind of no man’s land and seemingly makes of it a relatively minor work not worth the attention of the casual follower of the happenings in the philosophy of mind—a text for wholehearted fans only.1 However, when read as part of a trilogy that opens with Fodor (2000) and culminates with LOT 2, HV acquires a full sense of its own as the necessary link between the computational model of the former and the theory of ideas developed in the latter. Especially, we believe, when Fodor’s Hume is reassessed under the reading we propose here. In HV, Fodor got it right when he asserted that the etiology of complex ideas is the crux of Hume’s psychology; but he didn’t get it completely right, for Hume’s etiological suggestions are more complex and nuanced than they surface in Fodor’s portrait. The first section of this note is aimed at explaining why we believe so. Thereafter, we move to the question of what, according to Fodor, Hume got inexcusably wrong. Again, while we would like to suggest that Fodor got this partially right, we nonetheless believe that Hume’s contentions are not as inexcusably wrong as Fodor argued them to be, even from the point of view of a","PeriodicalId":54041,"journal":{"name":"Biolinguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44169450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stucchi","doi":"10.5964/bioling.9103","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5964/bioling.9103","url":null,"abstract":"Biological Foundations of Language already included a discussion of the role of temporal structural regularities and rhythm as organizing principle in language (see chapter 3 in Lenneberg 1967). In this article, we rely on Lenneberg’s biological notion of language and related ideas like rhythmicity and temporal structural regularities in order to show that individuals with developmental dyslexia (DD) are less efficient than control individuals in using structural regularities during handwriting and some language activities. Consequently, they cannot fully exploit (temporal) structural representations to process oral language, to execute handwriting movement and to read, although they have developed compensatory mechanisms to understand language, perform motor activities, and read. This proposal is based on findings collected in a varieties of studies conducted in our lab. First, we show that children with DD, who do not fail standardized language tests, but do not process oral language in the same ways as age-matched peers, as evident through ERP measures. They are also less efficient than control peers in morphologically manipulating non-words. Second, we show that children with DD are impaired in complying with two rhythmic principles governing handwriting considered in its motor dimension (not spelling), although they do not meet the criteria for disgraphia. Thus, children with DD have subtle oral language problems and motor disorders, beyond clear reading difficulties. Although we are aware of the great genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of dyslexia and language disorders, we would like to conjecture that there might be a common source to language, motor and reading difficulties. This lies in the efficient use of the temporal structural regularities underlying these three behaviors. The possibility of a common source does not preclude the existence of different phenotypic manifestations, as the way to compensate for the difficulties may vary across individuals.","PeriodicalId":54041,"journal":{"name":"Biolinguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44978127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
