Symbol production and the formulation of speech

Symbols integrate cortical modular activity into constantly meaningful yet dissolving patterns. Symbolism is posited as one of the keys to an understanding of neurophysiological processes underlying these patterns. A theory of symbol production is proposed based on a consideration of constraints in...

Summary:Symbols integrate cortical modular activity into constantly meaningful yet dissolving patterns. Symbolism is posited as one of the keys to an understanding of neurophysiological processes underlying these patterns. A theory of symbol production is proposed based on a consideration of constraints in neural space. The theory is related to inner speech and thought.
