Krátky popis
Who was ",the first speaker", and what was their first message?An
erudite, tightly woven and beautifully written account of one of
humanity's greatest mysteries - the origins of language.Drawing on
evidence from many fields, including archaeology, anthropology,
neurology and linguistics, Sverker Johansson weaves these disparate
threads together to show how our human ancestors evolved into
language users. The Dawn of Language provides a fascinating survey
of how grammar came into being and the differences or similarities
between languages spoken around the world, before exploring how
language eventually emerged in the very remote human past.Our
intellectual and physiological changes through the process of
evolution both have a bearing on our ability to acquire language.
But to what extent is the evolution of language dependent on genes,
or on environment? How has language evolved further, and how is it
changing now, in the process of globalisation? And which aspects of
language ensure that robots are not yet intelligent enough to
reconstruct how language has evolved?Johansson's far-reaching,
authoritative and research-based approach to language is brought to
life through dozens of astonishing examples, both human and animal,
in a fascinatingly erudite and entertaining volume for anyone who
has ever contemplated not just why we speak the way we do, but why
we speak at all.Translated from the Swedish by Frank Perry
