The Self-Organization Revolution in Science -- 1.1 Self-organization: a new light on nature -- 1.2 Language origins -- 1.2.1 Interdisciplinarity -- 1.2.2 Computer modelling -- 2. The Human Speech Code -- 2.1 The instruments of speech -- 2.2 Articulatory phonology -- 2.3 The organization of the speech code: universals -- 2.3.1 The speech code is discrete and combinatorial -- 2.3.2 The speech code is a classification system shared by the whole linguistic community -- 2.3.3 Statistical regularities in the phoneme inventories of human languages -- 2.4 The diversity of speech codes -- 2.5 Origins, development, and form -- 3. Self-Organization and Evolution -- 3.1 Self-organization -- 3.1.1 Rayleigh-Bénard convection -- 3.1.2 Ferro-magnetization -- 3.2 Self-organization and natural selection -- 3.2.1 Classic neo-Darwinism -- 3.2.2 Self-organization: constraining the search space -- 3.2.3 Evolutionary explanations: function is not enough -- 3.2.4 Exaptation -- 3.3 Explaining the origin of living forms -- 4. Existing Theories -- 4.1 The reductionist approach -- 4.2 The functionalist approach -- 4.3 Operational scenarios -- 4.4 Going further -- 5. Artificial Systems as Research Tools -- 5.1 What is the scientific logic? -- 5.2 What is the point of constructing artificial systems? -- 6. The Artificial System -- 6.1 Mechanism -- 6.1.1 Assumption 1: neural units -- 6.1.2 Assumption 2: perceptuo-motor correspondences -- 6.1.3 Assumption 3: perception and plasticity -- 6.1.4 Assumption 4: production -- 6.1.5 Assumption 5: initial distribution of preferred vectors -- 6.1.6 Assumption 6: no coordinated interactions -- 6.1.7 What is not assumed -- 6.2 Dynamics -- 6.2.1 The case of uniform initial distribution -- 6.2.2 The case where the initial distribution is non-uniform.
