and to the theory of syntactic movement (by proposing a weak version of the theory of antisymmetry, i.e. dynamic antisymmetry) according to which movement is the effect of a symmetry-breaking process in the computational system that underlies syntax. As for the first topic the original reference is the volume "The Raising of Predicates" (Cambridge University Press) - chapter 1 and 2, in particular - which has received more than 500 citations, according to Google Scholar; as for the second, instead, the original reference is the monograph "Dynamic Antisymmetry" (MIT Press) which has received more than 250 references, again according to Google Scholar.Andrea Carlo Moro - promotes noncommutative origin of syntax!
The core of the experiment - done in a team with neurosurgeons and electric engineers - consists in comparing the shape of the electric waves of non-acoustic language areas (typically, Broca's area) with the shape of the corresponding sound waves. The result was that not only the shape of the two different waves correlate but they do so also in absence of sound production, that is during inner speech activity, opening the possibility to reading linguistic expression from direct measure of the cortex and skipping the actual utterance of the sentence Magrassi et al. 2015. For a non technical synthesis of these discoveries and a critical discussion see Moro 2016So the "externalization" of language as sounds or internal thinking is first premised by electromagnetic fields that have the same shape as the sound waves - direct transduction of electromagnetic thought to sound! Even for sleeping patients! Amazing! Impossible Languages
listens for the sound of thought by recording electrical activity in the brain. Words and sentences, he tells us, are like symphonies and constellations: they have no content of their own; they exist because we listen to them and look at them. We are part of the data.Sound Representation in the Absence of Speech in the brain!
The results of our experiments show that a special representation of sound is actually exploited by the brain during language generation, even in the absence of speech.
Our results indicate that the electrocorticogram correlates with the sound envelope of the utterances, starting before any sound is produced and even in the absence of speech, when the patient is reading mentally.Amazing!
This is the secret of how emptying out the conceptual mind - by mental focus - turns the silence of inner sound into increased focus of qi or electromagnetic energy!!

hmm - Oh this has a translator I think? Or in English!
