Gestural Iconicity and Alignment as Steps in the Evolution of Language

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of the evolution of language rely heavily on comparisons to nonhuman primates, particularly the gestural communication of nonhuman apes. Differences between human and ape gestures are largely ones of degree rather than kind. For example, while human gestures are more flexible, ape gestures are not inflexible.

Where Mathematical Symbols Come From

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a sense in which the symbols used in mathematical expressions and formulas are arbitrary. After all, arithmetic would be no different if we would replace the symbols ‘+$+$’ or ‘8’ by different symbols. Nevertheless, the shape of many mathematical symbols is in fact well motivated in practice.
