At the risk of sounding like a triangle person, let me explain why I think that the topic of this volume - - storage and computation in the language fac­ ulty - though having just two sides rather than three, is the key to understanding every interesting issue in the study of language. I will begin with the fundamental scientific problem in linguistics: explaining the vast expressive power of language. What is the trick behind our ability to filleach others' heads with so many different ideas? I submit there is not one trick but two, and they have been emphasized by different thinkers throughout the history of linguistics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2002-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402005275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0355-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 356\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378896330892,"sku":"9781402005275","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402005275.jpg?v=1776432959","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402005275","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
