A Multifaceted Study on the Domain-Specificity of the Faculty of Language and the Modularity of Mind

我们从语言习得、跨语言变异、历史变迁、心理界面和进化的角度探讨了语言系的性质。 我们试图将每个领域的研究结果整合到一个单一的模型中，特别注意语言系的领域特异性和思维模块化的问题。 此外，我们还与小学、初中和高中的教师讨论了我们的研究结果的含义，并开发了可用于语言艺术课程的教材。

We investigated the nature of the Faculty of Language from the viewpoints of language acquisition, cross-linguistic variation, historical change, mental interfaces, and evolution. We attempted to integrate findings in each area into a single model, paying particular attention to the problems of domain-specificity of the Faculty of Language and modularity of mind. In addition, based on discussions with teachers of elementary, junior high, and senior high schools concerning the implications of our findings, we developed teaching materials that can be used in language arts classes.
