Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin and Diversification of Language
The Third Wattis Symposium in Anthropology and this volume would not have been possible without the support of many devoted individuals. Mrs. Phyllis Wattis herself deserves greatest thanks for her continued generous financial support and her inspiring enthusiasm, which seems only to increase from one symposium to another. Within the California Academy of Sciences itself, Nancy Gee of the Department of Anthropology is thanked for the work she contributed toward the organization of the symposium, but most especially for her painstaking work in typesetting this volume.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating origins of human language, delving into the complex relationship between animal communication and the uniquely human ability to speak and understand language. Challenging the common view that animal sounds are merely emotional displays, the author examines compelling evidence suggesting that some animal calls function as symbols, referencing specific objects or events in their environment. The author further investigates the question of intentionality in animal communication, analyzing whether animals actively choose to communicate with others or simply react instinctively. Through detailed studies of birdsong, the book explores the remarkable ability of some species to combine learned sounds into elaborate sequences, demonstrating a level of phonological syntax that parallels human speech. However, the author argues that these animal vocalizations are primarily affective, lacking the symbolic reference and complex syntax that characterize human language. The book delves into the transformative period in early human evolution when our ancestors moved from a forested environment to a more open landscape, suggesting that this lifestyle shift played a crucial role in the development of human language. This fascinating exploration reveals that the foundations of human language are deeply rooted in our evolutionary history, highlighting the complex interplay of biological adaptation, social behavior, and cognitive development that ultimately led to our ability to communicate in such sophisticated ways. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
