Jackendoff's study is an immense endeavor, which offers an articulate perspective on the human mind from a linguistic point of view whilst integrating insights from a manifold of disciplines such as philosophy, evolutionary biology and cognitive anthropology. The author does a wonderful job in incorporating the study within the general enterprise of exploring cognition and the mind/brain, with the main aim of exploring the pertinence of the theory of Conceptual Structure to all kinds of cognitive phenomena. He manages to present a coherent and immensely comprehensive study of the mind and the mental structures by providing non-formal paraphrases and retaining the arguments and analyses easily accessible, without impairing their insightfulness. Albeit quite speculative at times, Jackendoff's book certainly provides a fertile ground for further interdisciplinary research.
