  • Layers, mosaic pieces, and tiers

    Wendy Wilkins, Wendy K WilkinsARTICLEThe Linguistic Review2007

    Progress can be made in the exploration of the evolutionary origins of language by recognizing that the language capacity in humans is comprised of many and varied interlocking pieces of a biologically based mosaic. To understand how language can be both species-specific and evolved from capacities in ancestral species it is necessary to recognize that distinct aspects of linguistic cognition probably followed distinct evolutionary paths.

    Wendy Wilkins, Wendy K WilkinsARTICLEThe Linguistic Review2005

    Anatomy Matters considers the shared concerns of cognitive science and linguistics, especially with respect to notions of modularity. In order to encourage interdisciplinary exploration of language phenomena, and a concomitant notion of “degrees of modularity” in the Jackendoff sense, the neurobiological basis of language and the emergence of language ability in the species is discussed.

CulicoverWendy Wilkins University ofArizonaUniversity of Washington This paper presents a theory of control (predication), in terms of thematic relations, which makes no use of the element pro in the syntax. Important consequences of the theory are that the T-Criterion must be relativized to particular local domains, and the Projection Principle cannot be maintained. A number of syntactic argume…
