There is, *Fodor also tells us, ‘a considerable consensus … that there is a “semantic” level of grammatical *representation—a level at which the meaning of sentences is formally specified.’ [45] The language of thought is ‘the medium for computations underlying cognitive *processes’. [46]

Grammar has an additional attractive ambiguity: like that of ‘history’, which may be used to mean either what happened in the past or the study of what happened in the past, i.e. historiography. This ambiguity—which allows grammar to be both something someone is conscious of and the *rules according to which someone acts irrespective of whether he is conscious of them—makes it a very useful passport across the brain–mind barrier.
