Abstract

The present article raises the so far unaddressed question of the neural foundations of the linguistic processes underlying grammaticalization operations. Two fundamental adaptive neurolinguistic mechanisms are presented: The cerebellar-induced Kalman gain reduction in linguistic processing, and the basal ganglionic re-regulation of cortical unification operations.
