Human language is organized into distinct, specialized components and generative subsystems—such as syntax, phonology, and semantics—supporting a modular architecture of linguistic and cognitive processing.
The claim that human language is modular in nature is supported by multiple linguistic and cognitive neuroscience sources. Paper [0] highlights the separation between formal and functional linguistic competences backed by neuroscience, while Paper [7] details the Parallel Architecture model comprising independent generative systems (phonological, syntactic, and semantic structures) connected via interface links. No papers were found that refute this modular framework.
