Abstract:

This volume contains a contemporary, integrated description of the processes
of language. These range from fast scales (fractions of a second) to slow ones
(over a million years). The contributors, all experts in their fields, address
language in the brain, production of sentences and dialogues, language
learning, transmission and evolutionary processes that happen over centuries
or millenia, the relation between language and genes, the origins of language,
self-organization, and language competition and death. The book as a whole
will help to show how processes at different scales affect each other, thus
presenting language as a dynamic, complex and profoundly human phenomenon.
