Abstract

One of the most striking aspects of human linguistic communication is its extensive use of compositionality to convey meaning. When expressing a complex meaning, we tend to use signals whose structure reflects the structure of the meaning to some degree. This property is the foundation upon which the syntax of language is built. It is natural, therefore, that an evolutionary account of human language should contrast compositional communication with a non-compositional, holistic alternative where whole signals map onto whole meanings in an arbitrary, unstructured way. Indeed, Wray (1998) has argued that holistic communication (which is still in evidence in particular contexts today) can be seen as a living fossil of an earlier completely non-compositional protolanguage.

Fußnoten
1
See Hurford (2002) for discussion of why the term “bottleneck” is appropriate, and for an analysis of different types of bottleneck in language evolution.
 
2
This is not true of the extensive work on symbol grounding carried out by, for example, Steels & Vogt, 1997; Steels, 1998; A.D.M. Smith, 2003; Vogt, 2003.

Recall that “object” here is merely a term of convenience. We might wish to gloss this with “communicative intention”.
