Abstract:
Biolinguistics involves the study of language from a broad perspective that
embraces natural sciences, helping us better to understand the fundamentals of
the faculty of language. This Handbook offers the most comprehensive
state-of-the-field survey of the subject available. A team of prominent
scholars working in a variety of disciplines is brought together to examine
language development, language evolution and neuroscience, as well as
providing overviews of the conceptual landscape of the field. The Handbook
includes work at the forefront of contemporary research devoted to the
evidence for a language instinct, the critical period hypothesis, grammatical
maturation, bilingualism, the relation between mind and brain and the role of
natural selection in language evolution. It will be welcomed by graduate
students and researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including
linguistics, evolutionary biology and cognitive science.
