Abstract

Jerry Fodor's arguments for a language of thought (LOT) are largely theoretical.  Is there any empirical evidence that supports the existence of LOT?  There is. Research on Global Aphasia supports the existence of LOT. In this paper, I discuss this evidence and why it supports Fodor's theory that there is a language of thought.
