ABSTRACT
It would be presumptuous to imagine that one could do more than scratch the surface of a subject as vast as that indicated by the subtitle of this chapter. Language, mind, and the relationship of one to the other have preoccupied many of the best thinkers for millennia, and I can hope neither to summarize nor to replace their conclusions in a few pages. There are, however, clear generalizations to be made, and I can at least gesture in what I think is the right direction. The essence is modularity; the evidence is dissociation.
