Putting it all Together: The Language-Brain-Genes Loop.This book provides a critical introduction to the current views and controversies regarding language evolution. It sheds new light on hot topics such as: How ancient is language? Did Neanderthals have some form of language? Did language evolve gradually and incrementally, through stages, or suddenly, in one leap, in all its complexity? Does language evolution involve natural selection or not? This book is essential reading for scholars and students interested in language evolution, especially those in the fields of linguistics, psychology, biology, anthropology, and neuroscience. .Expert Briefs,2511-0594Historical linguisticsSyntaxLinguisticsLinguistic anthropologyCognitive grammarLanguage Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N61000Syntaxhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N45000Popular Science in Linguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q27000Linguistic Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12020Cognitive Linguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N58000Historical linguistics.Syntax.Linguistics.Linguistic anthropology.Cognitive grammar.Language History.Syntax.Popular Science in Linguistics.Linguistic Anthropology.Cognitive Linguistics.417.7417.7Progovac Ljiljanaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut185615MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337739203321A Critical Introduction to Language Evolution2495331UNINA
