linguistics is theoretical biology

language, science Add comments

“Since the universals of language are in the brain, they must also be in the genes; linguistics is theoretical biology.”
– G. Fauconnier

(via Luna)

One could dismantle the “something is in the brain therefor it has to be in the genes” argument rather quickly, but it’s still a memorable quote, especially when you try to understand what he really wanted to say.
