Language specificity and elasticity: brain and clinical syndrome studies.

Language is considered in terms of faculty and tissue specificity by examining current research on brain localization and clinical syndromes. The problems of modularity and its realization in linguistic models are discussed, focusing on the concepts of encapsulatedness and of autonomous syntax in l...

      ab: Language is considered in terms of faculty and tissue specificity by examining current research on brain localization and clinical syndromes. The problems of modularity and its realization in linguistic models are discussed, focusing on the concepts of encapsulatedness and of autonomous syntax in language descriptions. It is argued that misleading impressions of these concepts have been influential in the study of language. Research in the areas of aphasia, hemispheric localization, language and modality, and clinical syndromes such as Williams' and Down syndromes is reviewed.
