2	Three factors in language design

	Abstract: The biolinguistic perspective regards the language faculty as an ‘‘organ of the body,’ ’ along with other cognitive systems. Adopting it, we expect to find three factors that interact to determine (I-) languages attained: genetic endowment (the topic of Universal Grammar), experi-ence, and principles that are language- or even organism-independent. Research has naturally focused on I-languages and UG, the problems of descriptive and explanatory adequacy. The Principles-and-Param-eters approach opened the possibility for serious investigation of the third factor, and the attempt to account for properties of language in terms of general considerations of computational efficiency, eliminat-ing some of the technology postulated as specific to language and providing more principled explanation of linguistic phenomena.
