Dynamic systems and the evolution of language
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (3):286-287 (2006)
| Abstract | Locke & Bogin (L&B) suggest that theoretical principles of ontogenetic development apply to language evolution. If this is the case, then evolutionary theory should utilize epigenetic theories of development to theorize, model, and elucidate the evolution of language wherever possible. In this commentary, I evoke principles of dynamic systems theory to evaluate the evolutionary phenomena presented in the target article. | |||||||||
