Descrizione:In the present article we look into the cognitive conception of language by investigating the “rewiring hypothesis” put forward by Bermúdez (2005), according to which the acquisition of language (in both ontogeny and phylogeny) involves a substantial reconfiguration of the architecture of cognition, making available new forms of thought and processing. To assess this hypothesis, we explore its ontogenic and phylogenic dimensions, concluding that the available evidence only supports certain phylogenic version of this hypothesis. More precisely, that during the evolution of language, cognition would have been “rewired” making available the capacity of meta-representation, while no further substantial reconfiguration of cognition takes place during the acquisition of language.
