chapter 3 The Nature of Merge Consequences for Language, Mind, and Biology

Abstract

Abstract I wanted to discuss an issue that speaks to both linguists and non-linguists, and what I am going to try to do is first of all phrase a series of very general questions and then take one specific example, Merge (the most basic kind of example that I can take from the linguistic literature), in order to address particular questions of evolution with regard to that process.
