最近对新兴手语的研究为语言系统的关键属性是如何产生的提供了证据。在这里，我们使用实验室实验来调查两个具体的机制互动和传输的贡献，出现了一个手动通信系统在沉默的手势。我们发现，这些机制的综合作用，而不是单独的，保持交际效率，并导致规则性和系统结构的逐渐增加。参与者最初产生的手势是不系统的，类似于哑剧，但后来发展出类似于新兴符号系统中记录的关键语言特性。
Recent work on emerging sign languages provides evidence for how key properties of linguistic systems are created. Here we use laboratory experiments to investigate the contribution of two specific mechanisms—interaction and transmission—to the emergence of a manual communication system in silent gesturers. We show that the combined effects of these mechanisms, rather than either alone, maintain communicative efficiency, and lead to a gradual increase of regularity and systematic structure. The gestures initially produced by participants are unsystematic and resemble pantomime, but come to develop key language-like properties similar to those documented in newly emerging sign systems.
