   Does evolutionary linguistics provide a selective scenario for early language evolution?

   • Szabolcs Számadó, Eörs Szathmáry, in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006 The recent blossoming of evolutionary linguistics has resulted in a variety of theories that attempt to provide a selective scenario for the evolution of early language. However, their overabundance makes many researchers sceptical of such theorising.

   Is linguistic evolution intentional?

   • In linguistic evolution, a person can intentionally invent a new word that would be particularly handy in the current situation and introduce it to the language, beginning to pass it on to other people. However, not all linguistic innovation is deliberate. New words and linguistic structures can arise in many ways.

   Feb 19, 2016 · In the present article, we survey the state of knowledge regarding the kinds of language found among humans, the language inventory, population sizes, time depth, grammatical variation, and other relevant issues that a theory of language evolution should minimally take into account. 1. Introduction.

   Jun 20, 2008 · Here, we will dig into the idea of linguistic evolution and see exactly how it is similar to and different from biological evolution. The essence of biological evolution at the level of the individual organism is variation, inheritance, differential survival and reproduction, and time.

   Evolutionary linguistics refers to the scientific study of how human language emerges, changes, and becomes extinct over time. It examines language change, language acquisition, and language origin, and explores questions about the capacity to master and use language, the role of genetics, and the principles of language structure and use.
