OK, but back to the original point, I'm simply saying that the "language template" referred to in the article is not located in any specific physical section of the brain. It's a meta-function also associated with "learning" (which is of a higher order than mere syntax).

That's why I mentioned Bateson in my first post. He seemed to have a philosophical handle on the dynamics of learning itself, which might (or might not) be the meta-template that drives language.

Haven't studied this stuff in years, but it's interesting.

Interesting - language is an area that I don't know much about.
