Philosophy Research Papers on Cognitive Architecture, "about the hypothesis that human cognitive processes employ a language of thought (LOT)--a system of mental representation which supports syntactically complex mental symbols, physically realized in brains". And in particular, this essay: How To Be a Meaning Holist. A quick definition: "Meaning holists hold, roughly, that each representation in a linguistic or mental system depends semantically on every other representation in the system".
