Linguistic meanings in mind (commentary)
Jake Quilty-Dunn, Nicolos Porot, and Eric Mandelbaum’s Behavioral and Brain Sciences target article, “The Best Game in Town: The re-emergence of the language-of-thought hypothesis across the cognitive sciences”, focuses on evidence from nonlinguistic faculties to defend the claim that cognition generally traffics in language-of-thought (LoT)-type representations. This focus creates needed space to discuss the mounting accumulation of nonclassical evidence for LoT, but it also misses relevant work in linguistics that directly offers a perspective on specific hypotheses about candidate LoT representations.
