摘要：This article aims at examining two basic biological concepts with special import for Biolinguistics: the Critical Period and the cortical representations. The Critical Period is a special time window in early infancy during which there is exceptional neuronal plasticity. Language is structurally developed in this time, but vocabulary incrementation is not directly subject to a time window. It can be continuously acquired throughout one’s life, thanks to our capacity to represent form and concept relationally, through saussurean arbitrariness. Given these biological concepts, the authors will comment on a study that investigates the establishment of saussurean arbitrariness in babies: Lima, Gesualdi & França (2009).
