Abstract
Pulvermuller's work in extending Hebb's theory into the realm of language i s exciting. However, we feel that what he characterizes as a single cell as sembly is actually a set of cooperating cell assemblies that form parts of larger cognitive structures. These larger structures account more easily fo r a variety of phenomena, including the psycholinguistic.
