Author: David F. ArmstrongPublisher: Cambridge University Press

Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book proposes a radical alternative to dominant views of the evolution of language, in particular the origins of syntax. The authors draw on evidence from areas such as primatology, anthropology, and linguistics to present a groundbreaking account of the notion that language emerged through visible bodily action. Written in a clear and accessible style, Gesture and the Nature of Language will be indispensable reading for all those interested in the origins of language.

Denis Bouchard looks at how the human brain got the capacity for language and how language evolved.

The Written Language Bias in Linguistics
Author: Per LinellPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134270526
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Linguists routinely emphasise the primacy of speech over writing. Yet, most linguists have analysed spoken language, as well as language in general, applying theories and methods that are best suited for written language. Accordingly, there is an extensive 'written language bias' in traditional and present day linguistics and other language sciences. In this book, this point is argued with rich and convincing evidence from virtually all fields of linguistics.
