If the post-Chomskyan paradigm is to be richly enough elaborated to address effectively the range of phenomena implicated by the MLM metaphor, it will require eclectic strategies, the synthesis of theoretical and empirical knowledge from many disciplines. To recall Johnson-Laird’s phrasing, that synthesis ‘does not yet exist’, and its invention is imperative. Theorists and researchers will have to conduct their work co-operatively, with sufficient intelligence and openness to avoid the kind of fruitless oppugnancy that has developed between Chomskyans and behaviourists or High Church Computationalists and Zen Holists. Especially, I would suggest, theorists of language and modellers should give enlarged attention to biological aspects of linguistic and cognitive processes.
