Abstract

In this session we want to consider the subject of human language. There are different viewpoints on the evolution of language held by philosophers, but I want to look at human languages from a dynamical-systems point of view. Before concentrating on language as a dynamical system, I would like to ask you; how do you look at the history and evolution of language? What is the difference between human communication on the one hand and that of other animals or life forms on the other?
