Despite their apparently divergent accounts of higher cognition,
cognitive theories based on neural computation and those employing
symbolic computation can in fact strengthen one another. To
substantiate this controversial claim, this landmark work develops
in depth a cognitive architecture based in neural computation but
supporting formally explicit higher-level symbolic descriptions,
including new grammar formalisms. Detailed studies in both
phonology and syntax provide arguments that these grammatical
theories and their neural network realizations enable deeper
explanations of early acquisition, processing difficulty,
cross-linguistic typology, and the possibility of genomically
encoding universal principles of grammar. Foundational questions
concerning the explanatory status of symbols for central problems
such as the unbounded productivity of higher cognition are also
given proper treatment. The work is made accessible to scholars in
different fields of cognitive science through tutorial chapters and
numerous expository boxes providing background material from
several disciplines. Examples common to different chapters
facilitate the transition from more basic to more sophisticated
treatments. Details of method, formalism, and foundation are
presented in later chapters, offering a wealth of new results to
specialists in psycholinguistics, language acquisition, theoretical
linguistics, computational linguistics, computational neuroscience,
connectionist modeling, and philosophy of mind.
