We are born crying. These tears are the first signs of language. At birth, children dominate the sound system of their language and soon they are already having conversations. This extraordinary human faculty raises important biological questions about language. In this book, two eminent scholars address in depth the fascinating question of the evolution of language. Nacemos llorando. Y esos lloros son los primeros indicios del lenguaje. Al a???o de nace r, los ni???os dominan el sistema de sonidos de su lengua; y, m???s tarde, ya mantienen conversaciones. Esta extraordinaria facultad humana plantea importantes interrogantes biol???gicos en torno al lenguaje. En este libro dos eminentes eruditos abordan en profundidad el fascinante interrogante de la evoluci???n del lenguaje. Hasta hace poco no se pod???a plantear adecuadamente el tema de la evoluci???n, porque ni siquiera sab???amos definir con propiedad el ???lenguaje???. Pero a partir del Programa Minimalista, desarrollado por Chomsky y otros, ahora conocemos los ingredientes clave del lenguaje humano y somos capaces de ofrecer una explicaci???n de la evoluci???n del lenguaje humano y de lo que nos distingue de los dem???s animales. Berwick y Chomsky ahondan en la eficacia computacional del lenguaje en tanto que sistema de pensamiento y conocimiento; del conflicto entre la idea darwinista de cambio gradual y nuestro modo actual de ver el cambio evolutivo y el lenguaje; y de evidencias obtenidas en animales no humanos, especialmente en torno al aprendizaje de vocales en aves cantoras. El resultado es un hito en el abordaje bioling??????stico del lenguaje.
