I 308 It would be absurd to assume that Italian speakers have different brain structures than English speakers. I 309 Language/Brain: the form in which linguistic data is available - sound, images, educational regulations - give a better indication of where in the brain they are processed than their meaning. Reference is not located anywhere in the brain. >Reference, >Meaning, >Sense._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
