• Neural Turing Machines (2014, background): “…innovation that enables language and is specialized to language, a view supported by Fitch, Hauser, and Chomsky (Fitch et al., 2005), or whether multiple new adaptations are responsible for human language evolution and recursive processing predates language (Jackendoff and Pinker, 2005).”
• The Phonological Loop (2010, background): “A different point of view claims that language can be seen as a biological adaptation showing species-specific features at all levels: phonological, syntactical, lexical, and semantic (Jackendoff and Pinker 2005; Pinker 1995; Pinker and Jackendoff 2005).”
