Cognition and Communication in the Evolution of Language

Auteur: Reboul, Anne (Senior Researcher, Senior Researcher, Institute for Cognitive Sciences-Marc Jeannerod, CNRS and University UCBL-Lyon 1)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
This book shows that language, though now routinely used for communication, actually primarily evolved as a system for thought. Anne Reboul proposes a new two-step approach whereby syntax first evolved as a language of thought, which was then externalized for communication due to social selection pressures.
