language module
Language module refers to a hypothesized structure in the human brain (anatomical module) or cognitive system (functional module) that some psycholinguists such as Steven Pinker claim contains innate capacities for language. According to Jerry Fodor the sine qua non of modularity is information encapsulation; that is, the module is immune from information from other sources not directly associated with language processing (Fodor, 2005) There is currently ongoing debate about this in the field of cognitive science (psycholinguistics) and neuroscience (neurolinguistics).
== Meaning of a module ==
The debate on the issue of modularity in language is underpinned, in part, by different understandings of this concept.〔Coltheart, M. (1999). Modularity and cognition. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 3, 115–120〕 There is, however, some consensus in the literature that a module is considered committed to processing specialized representations (domain-specificity) (Bryson and Stein, 2001)〔Bryson, J. J. (2002). Language isn’t quite that special. Brain and Behavioral Sciences, 25 (6), 679–680〕〔Fodor, J. A. (1983). The Modularity of Mind. Bradford Books. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA〕 in an informationally encapsulated way.〔〔Flombaum, J. I., Santos, L. R., & Hauser, M. D. (2002). Neuroecology and psychological modularity. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 6 (3), 106–108〕 A distinction should be drawn between anatomical modularity, which proposes there is one 'area' in the brain that deals with this processing, and functional modularity that obviates anatomical modularity whilst maintaining information encapsulation in distributed parts of the brain.〔Calabretta, R., Di Ferdinando, A., Wagner, G. P., & Parisi, D. (2003). What does it take to evolve behaviorally complex organisms? BioSystems, 69, 245-262〕
