Research Abstract
In exploring the origins of evolution of uniquely human language and linguistic communication, our project provided novel ideas as working hypotheses for the other projects in the same “Evolinguistics” project. Together, we critically examined those hypotheses in an interdisciplinary collaboration, revising them into more plausible ones. We took hierarchy and intention sharing as two major factors in language evolution and aimed to understand them in a unified manner. We achieved this goal by transcending the surface opposition of generative grammar and cognitive linguistics and integrated the advantages of these approaches with latest advancement in phonology, historical linguistics, neurolinguistics, biolinguistics, etc., which itself is a major unprecedented innovation in linguistics.
