语言的进化及其机制一直是一个激烈的猜测和辩论的话题,特别是考虑到先天禀赋的问题。现代生物科学——神经生物学和神经行为学——在理解行为的近因和终极原因方面取得了巨大的进步。在关于语言知识的辩论中,这些见解通常被忽视,特别是在语法领域,核心理论结构已经被提出,不受进化生物学的约束。从有机体生物学的角度出发,为语言研究提供了一种原则性的方法,这种方法对语言的进化背景很敏感,这在认知科学的其他领域也是一种日益增长的趋势。语法比较生物学研究项目的出现就是这一趋势的一个具体例子。
The evolution of language and its mechanisms has been a topic of intense speculation and debate, particularly considering the question of innate endowment. Modern biological sciences— neurobiology and neuroethology—have made great strides in understanding proximate and ultimate causes of behavior. These insights are generally ignored in the debate regarding linguistic knowledge, especially in the realm of syntax where core theoretical constructs have been proposed unconstrained by evolutionary biology. Taking the perspective of organismal biology offers a principled approach to the study of language that is sensitive to its evolutionary context, a growing trend also in other domains of cognitive science. The emergence of a research program in the comparative biology of syntax is one concrete example of this trend.
