The evolution of musicality: What can be learned from language evolution research?
Language music natural phenomena cross-pollination method
2018/3/5
Language and music share many commonalities, both as natural phenomena and as subjects of intellectual inquiry. Rather than exhaustively reviewing these connections, we focus on potential cross-pollin...
Ancient DNA and language evolution: a special section
Genome human language the ancient DNA
2018/3/5
About a year or so ago, prompted by what seemed (and still does) to be a flood of new methods and findings stemming from the extraction, analysis and interpretation of more and more ancient genomes, b...
Linguistic diversity and language evolution

2016/5/3
What would your ideas about language evolution be if there was only one language left on earth? Fortunately, our investigation need not be that impoverished. In the present article, we survey the stat...
Language evolution and climate:the case of desiccation and tone
climate tone humidity cultural evolution interaction
2016/5/3
We make the case that, contra standard assumption in linguistic theory, the sound systems of human languages are adapted to their environment. While not conclusive, this plausible case rests on severa...
Interest in the origins and evolution of language has been around for as long as language has been around. However, only recently has the empirical study of language come of age. We argue that the fie...

Language Acquisition Meets Language Evolution
Biological adaptation Cognitive development Cultural
2015/8/10
Recent research suggests that language evolution is a process of cultural change, in which linguistic
structures are shaped through repeated cycles of learning and use by domain-general mechanisms.

Restrictions on biological adaptation in language evolution
language evolution biological adaptation
2015/8/10
Language acquisition and processing are governed by genetic
constraints. A crucial unresolved question is how far these genetic
constraints have coevolved with language, perhaps resulting in a
high...
A robustness approach to theory building: A case study of language evolution
Language Evolution Cultural Evolution Robustness
2015/4/27
Models of cognitive processes often include simplifications, idealisations, and fictionalisations, so how should we learn about cognitive processes from such models? Particularly in cognitive science,...
The Interplay of Genetic and Cultural Factors in Ongoing Language Evolution
Genetic Cultural Factors Language Evolution
2015/4/27
This chapter discusses recent advances in our understanding of the complex interplay between cultural and biological factors in language change and evolution. Three “myths” (the independence of biolog...
Genetic biasing through cultural transmission: Do simple Bayesian models of language evolution generalise?
Language evolution Computer model Bayesian agents
2015/4/7
The recent Bayesian approaches to language evolution and change seem to suggest that genetic biases can impact on the characteristics of language, but, at the same time, that its cultural transmission...
