Humans instinctively form words by weaving patterns of meaningless
speech elements. Moreover, we do so in specific, regular ways. We
contrast dogs and gods, favour blogs to lbogs. We begin forming
sound-patterns at birth and, like songbirds, we do so
spontaneously, even in the absence of an adult model. We even
impose these phonological patterns on invented cultural
technologies such as reading and writing. But why are humans
compelled to generate phonological patterns? And why do different
phonological systems - signed and spoken - share aspects of their
design? Drawing on findings from a broad range of disciplines
including linguistics, experimental psychology, neuroscience and
comparative animal studies, Iris Berent explores these questions
and proposes a new hypothesis about the architecture of the
phonological mind.
