ABSTRACT
The various essays that comprise this volume are an outgrowth of an Interdisciplinary Conference on Linguistics organized by Robert St. Clair. The rationale for the conference was to provide a forum in which scholars from a wide range of language-related sciences could openly speculate about the intellectual frontiers of their disciplines, impart their insights regarding language to others, compare experimental data, investigate methodological differences, and attempt to develop a nascent synthesis about the interdisciplinary nature of language from a metatheoretical level.
