Unbalanced human apes and syntax
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (2):221-222 (2003)
| Abstract | We propose that the fine discrete movements of the tongue as used in speech are what account for the extreme lateralization in humans, and that handedness is a mere byproduct of tongue use. With regard to syntax, we support the Armstrong et al. (1995) proposition that syntax derives directly from gestural motor movements as opposed to facial expressions. | |||||||||
