Krátky popis
In his groundbreaking new book Daniel Everett seeks answers to
questions that have perplexed thinkers from Plato to Chomsky: when
and how did language begin? What is it? And what is it for?Daniel
Everett confounds the conventional wisdom that language originated
with Homo sapiens 150,000 years ago and that we have a 'language
instinct'. Drawing on evidence from a wide range of fields,
including linguistics, archaeology, biology, anthropology and
neuroscience, he shows that our ancient ancestors, Homo erectus,
had the biological and mental equipment for speech one and half
million years ago, and that their cultural and technological
achievements (including building ocean-going boats) make it
overwhelmingly likely they spoke some kind of language. How
Language Began sheds new light on language and culture and what it
means to be human and, as always, Daniel Everett spices his account
with incident and anecdote.His book is convincing, arresting and
entertaining.
