  1. The Transition from Animal to Linguistic Communication.Harry Smit - 2016 - Biological Theory 11 (3):158-172.
    Darwin’s theory predicts that linguistic behavior gradually evolved out of animal forms of communication. However, this prediction is confronted by the conceptual problem that there is an essential difference between signaling and linguistic behavior: using words is a normative practice. It is argued that we can resolve this problem if we note that language evolution is the outcome of an evolutionary transition, and observe that the use of words evolves during ontogenesis out of babbling. It is discussed that language evolved (...)

  • Word Forms Reflect Trade‐Offs Between Speaker Effort and Robust Listener Recognition.Stephan C. Meylan & Thomas L. Griffiths - 2024 - Cognitive Science 48 (7):e13478.
    How do cognitive pressures shape the lexicons of natural languages? Here, we reframe George Kingsley Zipf's proposed “law of abbreviation” within a more general framework that relates it to cognitive pressures that affect speakers and listeners. In this new framework, speakers' drive to reduce effort (Zipf's proposal) is counteracted by the need for low‐frequency words to have word forms that are sufficiently distinctive to allow for accurate recognition by listeners. To support this framework, we replicate and extend recent work using (...)

  • L’accès au lexique mental dans une langue étrangère : le cas des francophones apprenant l’anglais.Heather Hilton - 2003 - Corela. Cognition, Représentation, Langage 1 (2).
    La recherche en acquisition du vocabulaire en L2 a tendance à investiguer les connaissances lexicales que les apprenants ont stockées en mémoire ; certains spécialistes considèrent que l’accès à ces connaissances constitue un facteur déterminant de la compétence communicative. Des francophones apprenant l’anglais pourraient accéder de façon efficace à la forme écrite des mots anglais, puisqu’une grande partie du vocabulaire anglais est dérivée du français. Les différences des systèmes phonologiques des deux langues rendraient le traitement de ces mêmes mots plus (...)
