This book examines one of the allegedly unique features of human language: structure sensitivity. Its point of departure is the distinction between content and structural units, which are defined in psycholinguistic terms. The focus of the book is on structural representations, in particular their hierarchicalness and their branching direction. Structural representations reach variable levels of activation and are therefore gradient in nature. Their variable strength is claimed to account for numerous effects including differences between individual analytical levels, differences between languages as well as pathways of language acquisition and breakdown. English is found to be consistent in its branching direction and to have evolved its branching direction in line with the cross-level harmony constraint. Structure sensitivity is argued to be highly variable both within and across languages and consequently an unlikely candidate for a defining property of human language.

Die deutsche Sprachwissenschaft war zwischen den Weltkriegen keineswegs so sehr von internationalen Entwicklungen isoliert, wie meist angenommen wird. Deutschsprachige Linguisten nahmen die damals aktuellen strukturalen Neuansätze der Prager Schule nicht nur umfassend wahr, sondern haben sich in ihren eigenen Neuerungsbestrebungen häufig auf sie berufen. Die Arbeit untersucht politische, sprachliche und andere Rahmenbedingungen der Strukturalismusrezeption im deutschen Sprachraum, wobei der deutschen Rezeption innerhalb der Tschechoslowakei ein eigenes Kapitel vorbehalten ist.
