- Summary:
- Attempting to prove that the human mind is both a social construct and a computational device, as opposed to one or the other, linguistics expert William Frawley focuses on language and reconciles the linguistic device (the mind) and the linguistic person. He presents an examination of certain congenital disorders, like autism, that disrupt speech to clarify the issue of computational AND cognitive control.
