SummaryIn 1930s Germany, Georg Schwidetzky (1875–1952) produced several works attempting to derive modern human languages by reconstruction from the vocalizations of non-human primates. This work was suppressed by other biologists under the Third Reich, not just because both the biology and the linguistics were ridiculously bad, but because Schwidetzky’

In this chapter we discuss the possible applications of pragmatics to biolinguistic issues. In particular, it notes that pragmatics as a discipline is related to the absolute variability of cultural content and can be considered foreign to biolinguistics.

IntroductionComing across a contribution that deals with the biological foundations of the human language faculty in a handbook that is dedicated to historical syntax is likely to surprise many. Is the human language faculty not uniform? And is historical change not a cultural process, rather than a biological one?

This chapter describes the origin of contemporary biolinguistics. In particular, the authors discuss the philosophical and linguistic presuppositions of Chomskyan biolinguistics and his ambiguous positions on dualism and Platonism. They also analyze the Chomskyan approach to evolutionism and its criticism of the more functionalist and adaptationist ...

Foundational issues in biolinguistics
2021Biolinguistics at large takes the biological underpinnings of language seriously. This chapter outlines the basic tenets of the biolinguistic approach framed in the form of five ‘foundational questions’. While often construed with generative investigations of language, biolinguistics is not, and should not be, another term for generative grammar; the ...

The Boundaries of Biolinguistics
2016In this chapter, on the basis of the previous ones, the authors discuss the limits of the applicability of biolinguistics as a Darwinian science. In particular, it excludes that biolinguistics is designed to specifically study the products of the language faculty.
