The double identity of linguistic doubling

Abstract:
Across languages, certain linguistic forms are systematically preferred to others (e.g., blog > lbog), but whether such preferences reflect abstract linguistic principles or the sensorimotor demands associated with the encoding of linguistic stimuli is unknown. To inform this debate, here we examine whether the preferences for linguistic forms can be disentangled from their sensorimotor characteristics. Our results demonstrate that people’s linguistic preferences doubly dissociate from the demands exacted by the linguistic stimulus: A single stimulus can elicit diverse percepts, whereas each such percept can remain invariant despite radical changes to stimulus modality—speech and signs. These conclusions are in line with the possibility that linguistic principles are amodal and abstract.
