"Humans instinctively form words by weaving patterns of meaningless speech elements.
Moreover, we do so in specific, regular ways. We contrast dogs and gods, favour blogs
to lbogs. We begin forming sound-patterns at birth and, like songbirds, we do so spontaneously,
even in the absence of an adult model. We even impose these phonological patterns
on invented cultural technologies such as reading and writing. But why are humans
compelled to generate phonological patterns? And why do different phonological systems
- signed and spoken - share aspects of their design? Drawing on findings from a broad
range of disciplines including linguistics, experimental psychology, neuroscience
and comparative animal studies, Iris Berent explores these questions and proposes
a new hypothesis about the architecture of the phonological mind"--
