Abstract:
This book proposes a radically evolutionary approach to biolinguistics that
consists in considering human language as a form of species-specific
intelligence entirely embodied in the corporeal structures of Homo sapiens.
The book starts with a historical reconstruction of two opposing biolinguistic
models: the Chomskian Biolinguistic Model (CBM) and the Darwinian
Biolinguistic Model (DBM). The second part compares the two models and
develops into a complete reconsideration of the traditional biolinguistic
issues in an evolutionary perspective, highlighting their potential influence
on the paradigm of biologically oriented cognitive science. The third part
formulates the philosophical, evolutionary and experimental basis of an
extended theory of linguistic performativity within a naturalistic perspective
of pragmatics of verbal language.
The book proposes a model in which the continuity between human and non-human
primates is linked to the gradual development of the articulatory and
neurocerebral structures, and to a kind of prelinguistic pragmatics which
characterizes the common nature of social learning. In contrast, grammatical,
semantic and pragmatic skills that mark the learning of historical-natural
languages are seen as a rapid acceleration of cultural evolution. The book
makes clear that this acceleration will not necessarily favour the long-term
adaptations for Homo sapiens.
