With several examples from semantics, \nsyntax, morphology, and phonology, this paper illustrates the central \nrole of hierarchical structures, not linear properties of strings, in \nformulating an explanatory and theoretical characterization\n of linguistic knowledge.&nbsp;<br>\nWe would like to invite you to join us in thinking and discussing the \ninsights and critical aspects of the arguments outlined in this review \npaper, and how different perspectives, alternative approaches, and \ninterdisciplinary methodologies could enrich our\n inquiry and understanding of human language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CompLang\u00a0will resume this Spring semester.
