摘要:One common approach to issues of domain-generality in language processing has been to look forbrain or cognitive mechanisms that are shared between linguistic and non-linguistic tasks, throughneuroimaging, neuropsychology and even dual-task paradigms. But arguments for domaingenerality need not rely on identifying a common neural substrate. Indeed, it is possible that someaspects of linguistic representations are governed by domain-general principles, even without therebeing a common brain system shared across multiple domains. To illustrate this point, I will discuss arecent series of cross-domain experiments designed to probe how the order of items in a sequence isrepresented.
