The project of this paper is to present a detailed description of modularity hypothesis, its versions, its major schools of thought, its evolutionary aspects, and inherent problems. This hypothesis suggests that the human mind is compartmentalized into components or modules, which are specialized on certain types of information. This is the gist of strong version of modularity hypothesis, which is a direct hypothesis on mind and comprehension. The weak version is concerned with the descriptive aspects of discourse organization. The paper also reviews the major research studies relevant to the occurrence of pragmatic module. This has been supported by pieces of evidence from aphasia, right hemisphere damage, autism, Theory of Mind, and developmental pathology. With this survey of literature as a backdrop, we have suggested a bus-oriented modular system of mind from a semantic-pragmatic perspective.
