Description

Language and Human Evolution: A New Perspective on Linguistics This book offers a fresh approach to understanding language by placing it within the context of human biology and development. Drawing on insights from fields such as psychology, neurology, biology, anthropology, genetics, and cognitive science, Julie Tetel Andresen explores how living beings become 'languaging' living beings. By considering language in an evolutionary and developmental framework, Andresen replaces traditional questions about language with new ones, such as how humans acquire the ability to communicate. This innovative approach will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in linguistics, biology, anthropology, cognitive science, and psychology. Linguistics and Evolution is a significant contribution to the field of linguistics, providing a rethinking of an introductory approach since Leonard Bloomfield's 1933 Language.
