Word Order, Action, and the Brain: A Reply to Arbib
In a recent paper in this journal, I argued that the crosslinguistic prevalence of subject–object–verb and subject–verb–object word orders reflects the sequential and hierarchical representation of action in Broca's area. Arbib (2015) discusses that paper in the context of broader computational...

Here, I respond to his concerns and defend my original account. |
