HINZEN, W. S., The Philosophy of Universal Grammar. Oxford University Press, 2013. 396p. Hardback. A radical vision that challenges standard conceptions that human language is a mere conduit for thought, that there is a Language of Thought, and that Grammar and Semantics are separable.

Upturning major assumptions of modern Linguistics and Philosophy of Language, this enthralling book is a central one for Cognitive Science Jill De Villiers, Professor of Psychology and Philosophy, Smith College 11/10/13 (Publisher's information). € 159.65 (New) (Printed on Demand) (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9780199654833
