尽管哑剧场景在最重要的历史和当前语言起源描述中反复出现，但一个严重的问题是缺乏普遍接受的“哑剧”定义。我们仔细研究了从戏剧研究到符号学再到灵长类动物学的几个研究领域，指出了可能引起误解的使用差异，并致力于制定一套特别适用于语言进化研究的“哑剧”定义标准。我们将哑剧定义为一种模仿的交流模式；非常规且积极主动；多模式（主要是视觉）；即兴创作；使用全身而不仅仅是手动；整体性；沟通复杂且自给自足；语义复杂；流离失所、开放式和普遍性。由此看来，“哑剧”几乎是唐纳德和兹拉特夫设想的“模仿身体的交流”的同义词。从更广泛的角度来看，我们的工作可能有助于组织语言演化中的一些术语和讨论，例如通过明确区分手势场景和哑剧场景，或者指定哑剧场景和多模式场景之间的关系。
Although pantomimic scenarios recur in the most important historical as well as current accounts of language origins, a serious problem is the lack of a commonly accepted definition of “pantomime”. We scrutinise several areas of study, from theatre studies to semiotics to primatology, pointing to the differences in use that may give rise to misunderstandings, and working towards a set of definitional criteria of “pantomime” specifically useful for language evolution research. We arrive at a definition of pantomime as a communication mode that is mimetic; non-conventional and motivated; multimodal (primarily visual); improvised; using the whole body rather than exclusively manual; holistic; communicatively complex and self-sufficient; semantically complex; displaced, open-ended and universal. So conceived, “pantomime” is a near synonym of “bodily-mimetic communication” as envisaged by Donald and Zlatev. On a wider plane, our work may help organise some of the terminology and discussion in language evolution, e.g. by drawing a clear distinction between gestural and pantomimic scenarios or by specifying the relation between pantomimic and multimodal scenarios.
