Cellular Evolution of Language

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2021
The evolutionary origin of language remains unknown despite many efforts to determine the origin of this signature human trait. Based on epigenetic inheritance, the current article hypothesizes that language evolved from cell-cell communication as the basis for generating structure and function embryologically and phylogenetically, as did all ...

The Evolution of Language

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1991
Language, whether spoken or signed, can be viewed as a gestural system, evolving from the so‐called mirror system in the primate brain. In nonhuman primates the gestural system is well developed for the productions and perception of manual action, especially transitive acts involving the grasping of objects.

Evolution of Language

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1984
To the Editor.— The article entitled "The Dominance of Scientific English" by Robertson and Robertson 1 is of interest. The plea for a single scientific English may be a good one, but each "language" developed by a process more complicated than a simple "split," as is generally the case, and languages once "split" scarcely ever reunite.

Evolution of Language

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979
To the Editor.— The editorial by Samuel Vaisrub, MD (241:830, 1979), concerning the word "multifactorial" overlooked two dictionaries in which the term is defined. The following definition appears in a Merriam-Webster publication 1 : mul•ti•fac•to•ri•al* -fak′tōrē[unk]l, -′tȯr- or mul•ti•fac•tor -¦fakt[unk](r) adj : having or involving a variety of

Evolution of brain and language

Language Learning, 2009
The evolution of language and the evolution of the brain are tightly interlinked. Language evolution represents a special kind of adaptation, in part because language is a complex behavior (as opposed to a physical feature) but also because changes are adaptive only to the extent that they increase either one's understanding of others, or one's ...

Automating Language Evolution

First Joint IEEE/IFIP Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering (TASE '07), 2007
The design and implementation of complex software systems inherently spans multiple levels of abstractions. The concepts of each level of abstractions and their interplay are represented by formal languages that are either implicitly known or explicitly defined.
