The essays in this volume have been gathered together to honor Eric
H. Lenneberg. Together they represent the broad range of topics in
which he took some interest. For one of the distinguishing features
of Eric Lenneberg's theoretical work was its synthesizing quality.
He was interested in all of the scientific domains that might touch
on the study of the mind and brain, and he carefully prepared
himself in each of the pertinent disciplines. Beginning with his M.
A. degree in linguistics from the University of Chicago in 1951, he
went on to complete his doctoral studies in both linguistics and
psychology at Harvard in 1955. This was followed by three years of
postdoctoral specialization at Harvard Medical School in both
neurology and chil dren's developmental disorders. This preparation
and additional expe rience at the Children's Hospital Medical
Center in Boston led directly to his now-classic monograph on the
neuropsychology of language, The Biological Foundations of
Language, which was published in 1967. It is interesting to note
that while each of the essays grows out of empirical evidence, all
without exception attempt to attain a level of theoretical
explanation and generalization which is frequently missing from
experimental work per se. Here again Lenneberg's work was no table
for the vigor with which he sought out explanations and theories
from neuropsychological data. In particular, hjs thesis that
"language is the manifestation of species-specific cognitive
propensities" was a hypothesis which he drew from necessarily
indirect evidence."
