The archaeological record speaks: Bridging anthropology and linguisticsdoi.orgPDF
S Balari, A Benitez-Burraco, M Camps, VM Longa, G Lorenzo, J Uriagereka
International Journal of Evolutionary Biology 2011, 2011
This paper examines the origins of language, as treated within Evolutionary Anthropology, under the light offered by a biolinguistic approach. This perspective is presented first. Next we discuss how genetic, anatomical, and archaeological data, which are traditionally ...

Long-Distance Dependencies are not Uniquely HumanPDF
R Ferrer-i-Cancho, VM Longa, G Lorenzo
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on the Evolution of Language, pages 115-122, 2008
It is widely assumed that long-distance dependencies between elements are a unique feature of human language. Here we review recent evidence of long-distance correlations in sequences produced by non-human species and discuss two evolutionary scenarios for the evolution of human ...MORE ⇓
It is widely assumed that long-distance dependencies between elements are a unique feature of human language. Here we review recent evidence of long-distance correlations in sequences produced by non-human species and discuss two evolutionary scenarios for the evolution of human language in the light of these findings. Though applying their methodological framework, we conclude that some of Hauser, Chomsky and Fitch s central claims on language evolution are put into question to a different degree within each of those scenarios.
