PAPER SUBMISSION FOR PSA 1998 The Dogma of Isomorphism: A Case Study from Speech Perception
نویسنده
چکیده
It is a fundamental tenet of philosophy of the "special sciences" that an entity may be analyzed at multiple levels of organization. As a corollary, it is often assumed that the levels into which a system may be theoretically analyzed map straightforwardly onto real stages of processing. I criticize this assumption in a case-study from the domain of speech science. I argue (i) that the dominant research framework in speech perception embodies the assumption that units of processing mirror units of conceptual structure, and (ii) that this assumption functions not as a falsifiable hypothesis, but as an entrenched dogma.
