Yes, I fyou see learning a language as a matter of translation, that is
the only point (it comes from the empiricist tradition, in QUINE IT is

languages, except language. The extended argument is indeed available in
between the views of Modularity of the Mind and The Language of Thought (to
be understood as titles)
