He puts forward the startling proposal that speech can be spontaneously generated by the coupling of evolutionarily simple neural structures connecting perception and production. He tests this hypothesis through a computational system and shows that the linking of auditory and vocal motor neural nets produces syntactic rulesthat exhibit the fundamental properties of modern human speech systems. This fascinating account will interest all those interested in the evolution of speech. 410 0$aOxford linguistics. 410 0$aStudies in the evolution of language ;$v6. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xOrigin 606 $aSpeech 606 $aSelf-organizing systems 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xOrigin. 615 0$aSpeech. 615 0$aSelf-organizing systems. 676 $a401.9 700 $aOudeyer$b Pierre-Yves$01123679 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962893003321 996 $aSelf-Organization in the Evolution of Speech$92899949 997 $aUNINA
