Deutscher (2000): "Structures such as finite complementation may be likened to linguistic “tools“ or “technology“. The cognitive ability to handle finite complementation must have already been a feature of the human brain in the more distant past."

Eta gaurkoan azpimarratuko ditugú atzoko hitzak ganik Deutscher (2000):

Structures such as finite complementation may be likened to linguistic  “tools“ or “technology“. The cognitive ability to handle finite complementation must have already been a feature of the human brain in the more distant past. But in the development of human society, tools and technological practice lag behind cognitive potential (Renfrew 1996). The appearance of the actual mechanisms of finite complementation, the lingusitic “technology“, seems to be a recent feature in the history of many languages. (Deutscher, 2000:185-186, enfasia nirea)

non, atzo esaten genuenez, argi islatzen dén diferentzia fundamental hori artén "cognitive ability" eta "technology". Diferentzia hori fundamentala da an edozein analisi linguistiko. [2728] [>>>]
