  • The Evolution of Human Language

    Open AccessMarc D Hauser, Michael A Hauser et al.BOOKEvolution of Human Language2010

    The way language as a human faculty has evolved is a question that preoccupies researchers from a wide spread of disciplines. In this book, a team of writers has been brought together to examine the evolution of language from a variety of such standpoints, including language's genetic basis, the anthropological context of its appearance, its formal structure, its relation to systems of cognition and thought, as well as its possible evolutionary a…

  • Cysteine-rich venom proteins from the snakes of Viperinae subfamily – Molecular cloning and phylogenetic relationship

    Open AccessDerek Bickerton, Anna S Ramazanova et al.ARTICLEToxicon2009

    Cysteine-rich proteins found in animal venoms (CRISP-Vs) are members of a large family of cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs). CRISP-Vs acting on different ion channels were found in venoms or mRNA (cDNA) encoding CRISP-Vs were cloned from snakes of three main families (Elapidae, Colubridae and Viperidae). About thirty snake CRISP-Vs were sequenced so far, however no complete sequence for CRISP-V from Viperinae subfamily was reported. We ha…

  • Reconsidering Creole Exceptionalism

    Open AccessDerek BickertonARTICLELanguage2004

    DeGraffs Discussion Note in Language 79.2.391-410 (‘Against Creole exceptionalism’, henceforth ACE) combines an accusation that the views of many, perhaps most of his creolist colleagues are vitiated by (perhaps unconscious) racial prejudice with the espousal of a theory of Creole genesis that has been around for a century or more without earning the support of more than a handful of creolists. ACE represents a striking volte-face from the modera…

  • Foraging versus Social Intelligence in the Evolution of Protolanguage

    Derek BickertonCHAPTERThe transition to language2002

    his volume ... takes as its starting-point the view of human intelligence as social, concerned with one’s own and others’ desires and motives, and of language as a device for forming alliances, making friends, and thus achieving successful feeding and mating through a complex social network. From this perspective, phonologists and syntacticians may explore the origins of the sound patterns and formal structures that characterize all language.

  • The Evolutionary Emergence of Language

    Open AccessRobbins Burling, Jason Noble et al.BOOKEvolutionary Emergence of Language2000

    Language has no counterpart in the animal world. Unique to Homo sapiens, it appears inseparable from human nature. But how, when and why did it emerge? The contributors to this volume - linguists, anthropologists, cognitive scientists, and others - adopt a modern Darwinian perspective which offers a bold synthesis of the human and natural sciences. As a feature of human social intelligence, language evolution is driven by biologically anomalous l…

  • A Sociohistoric Examination of Afrogenesis

    Derek BickertonARTICLEJournal of Pidgin and Creole…1998

    Afrogenesis is taken here to mean the belief that the English-based Atlantic creole languages originated on the West Coast of Africa. This paper shows that Afrogenesis, originally proposed in work by Hancock and by Smith, and now given a new lease on life by McWhorter, is at best highly dubious. The same is true of any single-source, diffusionist account of the similarities between the English-based creoles
