The study of language within a biological context has been ongoing for more than fifty years. The development of neuroimaging technology offers new opportunities to enrich the "biolinguistic perspective" and extend it beyond an abstract framework for inquiry. As a leading theoretical linguist in the generative tradition and also a cognitive scientist schooled in the new imaging technology, Moro is uniquely equipped to explore this. Moro searches for neurobiological correlates of "the boundaries of Babel" -the constraints on the apparent chaotic variation in human languages by using an original experimental design based on artificial languages. He offers a critical overview of some of the fundamental results from linguistics over the last fifty years, then uses these essential aspects of language to examine two neuroimaging experiments in which he took part-making it clear that techniques and machines do not provide interesting data without a sound theoretical framework.
