Word-sentences and an interaction-based account of language evolution
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (3):293-293 (2003)
| Abstract | Considerations from an interaction-based approach to the evolution of language and the role of word-sentences therein show that the object-attribute ontology is arrived at a much later stage. Therefore, Hurford's arguments, by focusing on the predicate-argument structure, seem to miss out on most of the interesting aspects of the early stages in language evolution. | |||||||||
