This is the second of the two closely linked
but self-contained volumes that comprise
James Hurford s acclaimed exploration of the
biological evolution of language. In the first
book he looked at the evolutionary origins
of meaning, ending as our distant ancestors
were about to step over the brink to modern
language. He now considers how that step
might have been taken and the consequences
it undoubtedly had.
The capacity for language lets human beings
formulate and express an unlimited range of
propositions about real or fictitious worlds. It
allows them to communicate these propositions,
often overlaid with layers of nuance and irony,
to other humans who can then interpret and
respond to them. These processes take place
at breakneck speed. Using a language means
learning a vast number of arbitrary connections
between forms and meanings, and rules on how
to manipulate them, both of which a normal
human child can do in the first few years of
life. James Hurford looks at how this miracle
came about.
The book is divided into three parts.
In the first the author surveys the syntactic
structures evident in the communicative
behaviour of animals, such as birds and whales,
and discusses how vocabularies of learned
symbols could have evolved, and the effects
this had on human thought. In the second he
considers how far the evolution of grammar
depended on biological or cultural factors.
In the third and final part he describes the
probable route by which the human language
faculty and languages evolved from simple
beginnings to their present complex state.
