  • The native speaker's grammatical competence is reflected in two types of
    intuition'' which speakers have about their native language(s) — (i) intuitions'''
    about sentence ''well-formedness'', and (ii) '''intuitions
    about sentence ''structure''.
    The word ''intuition'' is used here in a technical sense which has become stand-
    ardised in Linguistics: by saying that a native speaker has ''intuitions'' about the
    well-formedness and structure of sentences, all we are saying is that he has the
    ability to make ''judgments
    about whether a given sentence is well-formed or
    not, and about whether it has a particular structure or not. [...]

    Recent findings in cognitive' neuroscience are also beginning to unravel how the body perceives magnitudes through sensory-motor systems. Variations in size, speed, quantity and duration, are registered in the brain by electro-chemical changes in neurons. The neurons that respond to these different magnitudes share a common neural network. In a survey of this research, ' cognitive neuroscientists Domenica Bueti and Vincent Walsh tell us that the brain does not treat temporal perception, spatial perception and perceived quantity as different.
