N2  - Author combines traditional linguistic argumentation with all the tools of cognitive science, statistical and corpus-based analysis, data from experiments on processing and language acquisition, and evidence of broader-based phenomena in cognition. Author asks two questions (1) How do learners acquire generalisations that make it possible to produce and comprehend utterances outside their direct experience? and (2) Why are languages the way they are?
