Jean-Louis Dessalles - Why We Talk: The Evolutionary Origins of Language
Published: 2007-03-01 | ISBN: 0199276234 | PDF | 395 pages | 3 MB


Constant exchange of information is integral to our societies. Jean-Louis Dessalles explores how this came into being. He develops a view of language as an instrument for conversation rather than mental representation and thought. Presenting language evolution as a natural history of conversation, the author sheds light on the emergence of communication in the hominine congregations, as well as on the human nature.
