Description: The impossibility of testing the depth hypothesis of 1960 of a connection between the complexities of grammar and a limited human temporary memory led to questioning the ancient grammatical foundations of linguistics and to developing standard hard-science foundations. This volume is the first detailed report on how to reconstitute linguistics on the new hard-science foundation laid by Victor H. Yngve in 1996.

Review Quotes: ""...for an approach that touts the scientific, there is a disappointing lack of hard data and physically testable predictions." - Barbara Abbott, Studies in Second Language Acquisition, September 2008" --Barbara Abbott
