Abstract:  [ENG] The aim of this paper was to show that Fodor's modularity thesis provides a framework for interpreting data thought to be relevant to the structure of the language processor. In setting out a background to this, the basic research enterprise of isolating processor properties was considered, with an emphasis on the logic underlying the use of a particular experimental technique (repetition priming) as a way of determing processing architecture within the language module. This enterprise was considered with respect to Fodor's account of mental architecture; the suggestion being made is that in its traditional form, the priming technique will give ambiguous results. In order to overcome this, a modification to the priming technique was investigated.
