Is language special? I consider some arguments, culled mainly from the papers by Christensen, Love, Ross, and Wheeler, that may shed light on this slippery topic.In particular, I examine some issues concerning the computational underpinnings of linguistic ability, the role of language in thought, and the dual existence of language as a public and a private tool.Language, I conclude, is an essentially contested structure, productively poised between the inner and the outer, the private and the public, the biological and the artifactual.
