John, "But let me ask you a question, how does one know one has ever had an experience that escaped, in all ways, the influence of linguistic transforms? I'd argue that because consciousness is constructed by unconscious processes, and linguistic transforms are unconscious processes, it would be impossible. I also don't believe there is any cognitive process that is wholly sensory or wholly linguistic." This refers back to an epistemological issue covered in Whispering. How does one know if the formal patterning, model (i.e. FA and f2 distinctions) are useful model of human experience? But,since the models pertain to human experience - that is the reference point. The resulting applications of the model have to be calibrated with individual experiences to determine their utility. This is also the case in detecting unconscious perceptions - in doing this research the reference point again are the representations and constructs of human experience and levels of responses. You could look up research employing unconscious patterning such as mentioned in Whispering : Kurzban, Tooby and Cosmides in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences (December 15th, 2001).
