There are basically two types of methods of analysis which are being used. One looks at how the Language Function expresses itself in the brain at a biological level. The other looks at whether this functioning can be encapsulated using a representational approach. Both methods, the physical and the metaphysical one, need each other in order to handle, in the best way possible, the limitations they have when faced with interpreting the overwhelming complexity which the Language Function exhibits. For more information, please visit http://odur.let.rug.nl/dejonge/alfal/congres3eng.htm Las Teorías lingüísticas y los fundamentos biológicos del lenguaje humano: un diálogo Este tercer congreso trata de enfocarse en alentar el diálogo entre investigadores que están interesados en entender cómo funciona el lenguaje en el cerebro humano. Hay dos tipos básicos de métodos de análisis que se están utilizando. Uno investiga cómo se expresa la función lingüística en el cerebro desde un punto de vista biológico y el otro si este funcionamiento puede encapsularse usando una aproximación representacional. Ambos métodos, el físico por una parte y el meta-físico por otra se necesitan mútuamente para enfrentarse mejor a las limitaciones que tienen a la hora de interpretar la complejidad desbordante que presenta el funcionamiento lingüístico.
