In The Oxford Handbook of Language Evolution, sixty leading scholars present critical accounts of every aspect of the field. Research on language evolution has burgeoned over the last three decades. Its five parts are devoted to insights from comparative animal behaviour; the biology of language evolution; the prehistory of language; the development of a linguistic species; and language creation, transmission, and change.
This book presents a wide-ranging summation of work in all the disciplines involved. Interdisciplinary activity has produced fundamental advances in the understanding of language evolution and in the evolution of human andanimal communication more generally. It highlights the links between different lines of research, shows what has been achieved, and considers promising directions for the future.
The Oxford Handbook of Language Evolution will be valued by everyone interested in one of the most productive and fascinating fields in natural and cognitive science.
