Language and Action: Current Challenges

Certainly language presents in a most striking form the integrative functions that are characteristic of the cerebral cortex and that reach their highest development in human thought processes . Temporal integration is not found exclusively in language ; the coordination of leg movements in insects , the song of birds , the control of trotting and pacing in a gaited horse , the rat running the maze , the architect designing a house , and the carpenter sawing a board present a problem of sequences of action which cannot be explained in terms of successions of external stimuli .
