....proposed ideas why languages emerged in humans: There are scientists who believe that languages emerged from innate structures in the human brain [7] Others think that the onset of language evolution was an accident of nature. And still others think it emerged purely on functional grounds (see [12]) The most well known and influential theory of contemporary scientists is the one suggested by Chomsky (e.g. 7] 8] and some others. Chomsky [8] thinks that language is an innate structure that emerged as a by product of the evolution by natural selection of other brain structures. Chomsky [8] ....
....thesis. 8 Human language is only a recent development in evolution. Devises for speech and syntax are only available in the human brain for at least 100,000 years [28] Human language clearly involves some biological components, including the ability to acquire and use words, speech and syntax [12]. According to Darwin, the process of evolution always makes use of old parts, modifying them to perform new functions. Evidence for the ability to produce speech at a high level, i.e. the way that present humans do is found in fossil hominids. The focal tract that makes it possible to produce the ....

....context and the building of joint attention between the communicative agents. Recent studies on the development of communication have addressed the problem essentially from an evolutionary perspective, 1) either through theoretical models based on biological studies of brain evolution (e.g. [16, 46]) or on sociological studies of primates and human societies (e.g. 2, 18] 2) or through computer simulations (e.g. 28, 34, 45, 43, 51] For these studies, the symbol grounding problem 2 [22] is solved, once the necessary cognitive abilities have evolved. However, few of these studies ....
....the most likely pairs, i.e. the most frequently observed, are chosen. However, combinatorial analysis alone is not always sufficient to discard all irrelevant information, as it is often difficult to present a sufficiently high number of relevant pair meaning examples compared to irrelevant ones [16]. There are also numerous situations in which one feature does not appear (naturally) without another one, e.g. the eyes, mouth, nose and other human face features are bound to appear together with the whole face. In this case, combinatorial analysis would fail to attach two different concepts to ....

....the researchers we discuss have reported to date may well be modified in the future. We are not committed to the correctness of the claims researchers have advanced, but to the methodology employed. Drawing upon the electrical stimulation research of Penfield Roberts (1959) and Ojemann (1983) Deacon (1992) distinguishes four successive lateral tiers of what he refers to as the ventral frontal language region (VFLR) a portion of the frontal cortex that extends beyond what has traditionally been referred to as Broca s area ) which differ in their patterns of connectivity. Electrical stimulation ....
.... phrases, words, or morphemes are likely programmed by motor cortex in conjunction with striatal and cerebellar circuits, whereas the temporal organization and flexible gating of these modular behaviors are likely regulated by numerous parallel projections originating from ventral prefrontal areas (Deacon, 1992, p. 59) While this decomposition and localization within the ventral frontal language area is not yet sufficiently developed to provide a complete account of the ways in which this area contributes to language production, it does suggest how detailed knowledge of the underlying neuroanatomy and ....

....biological evolution and language evolution. This analogy should not be taken literally, obviously. As Terry Deacon has pointed out, biological and social evolutionary processes are based on radically different modes of inheritance, sources of structural variation and processes of selection (Deacon (1992), p. 50) Nevertheless, the analogy may facilitate our understanding of some of the processes of language evolution I have been describing. We might compare biological fitness with communicative fitness. A construction is communicatively fit if it is easily understood. Constructions which ....

.... 3 Though not uncontroversial, the idea of gene culture co evolution has been developed in a variety of models, including Lumsden and Wilson (1981) Boyd and Richerson (1985) Dawkins and and Krebs (1984) propose a coevolutionary mechanism at the root of the evolution of signalling systems, and Deacon (1992) discusses human brain language coevolution in detail. critical period for language acquisition, and a property of human cultures, the size of their languages. A gene culture interaction will be shown that can be described as a kind of symbiosis, but perhaps more aptly as an arms race . In this ....

....the intricate grammatical structures of human languages. 3.3 Physiological preadaptations Brain size. Everybody agrees that there is some connection between humans abnormally large brains and their capacity for language, but nobody has been able to specify very precisely what this connection is. Deacon (1992) points out that in two million year period in which brains have doubled in size, no clearly new structures have been added, although there has been warping of the proportions of the parts, with the frontal areas of cortex becoming more prominent. It is these parts which handle verbal short term ....
....in size, no clearly new structures have been added, although there has been warping of the proportions of the parts, with the frontal areas of cortex becoming more prominent. It is these parts which handle verbal short term memory, combinatorial analysis, and sequential behavioral ability (Deacon, 1992:64) For other accounts, see also Eccles (1989) and Wilkins and Wakefield (1995) Serial motor control. The complex gesture of, say, throwing a stone, can be likened to a phrase; it consists of a series of subgestures, which must be carefully coordinated with each other. One school of thought ....
