Review of: The evolution of human language: Biolinguistic perspectives (R. Larson et al., CUP, 2010)
Résumé
Where does human language come from? The ‘greatest problem in science’, according to Bickerton (2009), remains a mystery. This new volume offers a partial but important map of current ideas on the problem. The book is stimulating because of the issues it raises and surprising in the issues it ignores.
