| Modularity in Knowledge Representation and Natural-Language Understanding |
|
Jay L. Garfield
|
|
The notion of modularity, introduced by Noam Chomsky and developed
with special emphasis on perceptual and linguistic processes by Jerry
Fodor in his important book The Modularity of Mind, has
provided a significant stimulus to research in cognitive science.
This book presents essays in which a diverse group of philosophers,
linguists, psycholinguists, and neuroscientists -- including both
proponents and critics of the modularity hypothesis -- address general
questions and specific problems related to modularity.
