Some of the most important specialists in the field - life scientists and linguists - primarily examine two aspects of the question: the origin of the language faculty and the evolution of the first language. At stake is the relation between nature and culture and between universality and historical particularity as well as cognition, communication, and the very essence of language. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics$pStudies and monographs ;$v133. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xOrigin 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xOrigin. 676 $a401 686 $aES 415$2rvk 701 $aTrabant$b Ju?rgen$0424690 701 $aWard$b Sean$f1963-$01606632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815995303321 996 $aNew essays on the origin of language$93932514 997 $aUNINA
