The Evolutionary Emergence of Language

Evidence and Inference

Herausgeber: Botha, Rudolf; Everaert, Martin

Beschreibung

Leading primatologists, cognitive scientists, anthropologists, and linguists consider how language evolution can be understood by means of inference from the study of linked or analogous phenomena in language, animal behaviour, genetics, neurology, culture, and biology.
