| adam_text | We are born crying, but those cries signal the first stir-
ring of language. Within a year or so, infants master
the sound system of their language; a few years after
that, they are engaging in conversations. This remark-
able, species-specific ability to acquire any human
language—“the language faculty”—raises important
biological questions about language, including how
it has evolved. This book by two distinguished schol-
ars—a computer scientist and a linguist—addresses
the enduring question of the evolution of language.
Robert Berwick and Noam Chomsky explain that
until recently the evolutionary question could not be
properly posed, because we did not have a clear idea
of how to define “language” and therefore what it was
that had evolved. But since the Minimalist Program,
developed by Chomsky and others, we know the key
ingredients of language and can put together an ac-
count of the evolution of human language and what
distinguishes us from all other animals.
Berwick and Chomsky discuss the biolinguistic
perspective on language, which views language as a
particular object of the biological world; the compu-
tational efficiency of language as a system of thought
and understanding; the tension between Darwin’s
idea of gradual change and our contemporary under-
standing about evolutionary change and language;
and evidence from nonhuman animals, in particular
vocal learning in songbirds.
