Biological Linguistics Research as a cross -disciplinary、Multi -field、Comprehensive Studies,Biological attributes that mainly pay attention to human language,Covering biology、Linguistics、Anthropology、Archeology、Anatomy、Computer Science、Psychology and other areas。The earliest source can be traced back to the 15th century Renaissance Da Vinci regards language as a hypothesis of human biomass。but,Under the cognition and actual conditions at that time,It is not possible to give a special term describing this assumption。During Darwin's exploration,CLARENCE L. Meader and John H. Muyskens in 1959 published the "Handbook of Biolinguistics",n. Chomsky published a book called "Current issues in linguistic theory" in 1964,Proposal to study language ability from the perspective of creatures。Lenneberg's "Biology Foundation of Language" published in 1967 was high。Massimo Piattelli officially used this term at an international seminar organized by MIT in 1974。So far,"Biolinguistics" (biolinguistics) is accepted by the academic community。After decades since then,Linguist's research on this field is continuously promoted,In the study of modern linguistics,It plays a role in promoting biological linguistics research,It is a series of studies began after the founder of the grammar N. Chomsky and other scholars in the school after the 1970s。

L. Jenkins published in 1997 entitled "Biological Linguistics -Structure、Development and Language Evolution "(Biolinguistics-Structure, DEVELOPMENT and EVILUTION of Language;。

2000,Jenkins's "Biolinguistics: Exploring The Biology of Language" (Biolinguistics: Exploring the Biology of Language) published by Cambridge University Press。Basic issues of Bet365 app download this book for the study of biological linguistics (composition of language knowledge、Xi Gao、Use、related brain mechanisms and development and evolution) discussed,and comprehensively demonstrate the biology attributes of linguistics。

2002 to 2005,w. Tecumseh Fitch, marc d. Hauser, Noam chomsky and ray jackendoff, A series of wonderful discussions on Language Faculty between Steven Pinker,further promoted the study of the academic community on biological linguistics。

In 2005, the "Morris First International Language and Communication Symposium" was held at Shixi Branch of State University of New York, USA,Scholars participating in the conference discussed on issues such as human language and their evolutionary methods。Based on this,Richard K. Larson, viviane déprez and Hiroko Yamakido organized some of the high -quality papers in 2010,Published "The Evolution of Human Language: Biolinguistic Perspectives" (The Evolution of Human Language: ",Language Architecture、Language and Interface Systems、Biology and neural foundation (Biology and Neurology Foundations)、Anthropological Context four parts show the latest results of human language evolution research。In the same year,Chomsky's "Three Factors in the Language Design" is hereditary talent、Experience and the principles of efficient operations independent of language conducted in -depth exploration,Study on biology attributes of language pointed out the direction。

2007,The themes of "Biolinguistics (Biolinguistics) and BiolingUistics: Language Evolution" were held in the international research in the international research of " Discussion,The latter starts from the three elements of the language design proposed by chomsky in 2005,Focus on the factors affecting language evolution and mutation。December of the same year,Cedric Boecks and Kleanthes K. Grohman jointly founded an international language research journal bet365 Play online games called "Biolinguistics"。Also in the same year,Chomsky published a article entitled "OF MINDS and LANGUAGE" in the journal "Biology Linguistics",Try to explore the biological attributes of language (function) and its evolution,Three important issues in the research of biological linguistics: How is language knowledge learned? What is the related human brain mechanism?,The advent of the journal of "Biological Linguistics" is to study linguistics from the perspective of biology linguistics、The origin and evolution of human language provides academic platforms。

2010,W. TECUMSEH FITCH published "The Evolution of Language,Discussion on human language from the perspective of evolution。2008,Chomsky made a keynote speech entitled "The Biolinguistic Program: where does" at the 16th Academic Conference of the International Chinese Linguistics Society?,Translated and published by Professor Si Fuzhen。The article discusses the two outstanding questions: one,Why is there a language? Two,Why are there so many languages?

2011,Anna Maria Di Sciullo and Cedric Boeck co -authored the "New Perspective of the Evolution and Essence of Human Language Evolution and Essentials" and nature of the human language faculty),As the opening of the "Oxford Studies in Biolinguistics" series of books。This book is evolved、mutation and calculation of three angles discussed biological linguistics,In the book, it is clearly stated that biological linguistics will become an important branch of linguistics research。This series of books was launched in 2013 by Cedric Boeckx, Kleanthes K. Crohmann's "The Cambridge Handbook of Biolinguistics" edited by the Cambridge Handbook,The whole book revolves around the three important issues raised by chomsky on biological linguistics research,Development from language、Mind、Brain and Behavior and Language Evolution to explain。

2015,Language official can investigate and seminar in the perspective of biological linguistics Bet365 lotto review in Pavia, Italy,From Canada、Italy、India、Spain、UK、Scholars from many countries such as Kuwait participated in the meeting。The participants worked hard to pursue the "SatisFactory" answer to the relationship between language and brain。After the meeting,Anna Maria di Sciullo brings together some high -quality papers into a book,Published "Biolinguistics on the Language Facult",Language Faculty、Language Variation、Language (Language (Acquisition and) IMPAIRMENTS) discussed。

2016,Robert C. Berwick and Noam Chomsky published "Why is We: Language and Evolution"。This book is combined with generating grammar、The latest research of ancient anthropology and biology,To biological linguistics、The structure of the language and the meaning of evolution、Triangle in the brain discussed and explained,Try to answer why only the question of our (human) has language,and propose the progress of biological linguistics theory comes from the continuous development of linguistics and biology。

In addition,International Symposium on Language Evolution (Evolang) holds it every two years,greatly promoted the development of biological linguistics。

  Biological Linguistics attracted attention in China

Scholars who mention the term "biological linguistics" for the first time in China are Professor Wei Zhiqiang。1987,He published an article entitled "Biological Linguistics" in "Chinese Construction",Proposal "Biological Linguistics ... Mainly study the difference between human biological foundation and physiological mechanism and human language and animals 'language' in biological behavior"。

In recent years,Research on domestic biological languages ​​has also developed new development。The first International Biological Linguistics Symposium was held at Southwest University in 2016,The theme of the conference is "The Past of Biological Linguistics、Now and Future bet365 best casino games ",It mainly focuses on biological linguistics theory and method、Biological foundation of language、A more in -depth discussion of biology -based cognitive linguistics research and biological linguistics -related topics。The Second International Biology Symposium was held in December 2017 at Tsinghua University,The meeting explores human language ability from the perspective of biology。In addition,The evolutionary language conference advocated by Professor Wang Shiyuan, a famous linguist, has been held in 2018.,The meeting involves language and brain、Chinese language evolution and the evolution of Chinese people、Language experiment research and other aspects,It can be said that the development of domestic biological linguistics has been promoted。

According to Ding Kaioli、Statistics of Yu Yue and Xi Xianzhao,As of September 2016,Database in CNKI full text、EBSCO's ASC database and eight articles about biological linguistics research included in the national philosophy and social science academic journal database,and from the time of posting,Mainly concentrated after 2002。But from the perspective of the research content,Domestic research is mainly introduced,Research using related theories to solve problems is relatively small。A representative research results are Wu Gang's "Research on Genes" published by Wu Gang in 2006 (Chapter 8 of the book discusses the genetic grammar under the perspective of biological linguistics); Yuan Xiaohong、Liu Guiling's "Outlook in Language Research"; Yang Liexiang's "Animalism and Evidence of Biological Behavior"; Research on Biology of the Times "; Duan Shengfeng、Wu Wen's "Policual Police of Children's Language" in Biological Linguistics "; Yang Liexiang's" Biological Biology Basis "; Contemporary Biological Linguistics "; Mao Jianyuan's" The Biological Properties and Language Evolution of Language "; what should Cheng Gong's" The Dragon should be like?、Huang Linhui’s "Core Questions of Biological Linguistics Bet365 app download and the Basic Philosophy of the Process", etc.。

In addition to the above research under the perspective of biological linguistics,There are many interview documents,Zhang Yaqian and Wu Yaqing、Zhang Yaqian and Wu Yaqing、Chu Xingjun、The introduction of Sun Yu and others。This can be seen,in the country,This emerging discipline is getting widespread attention from the academic community,and work together with other related disciplines。

  Outlook for Biological Linguistics Research

Biological Linguistics develops in recent years at home and abroad,From one aspect, it illustrates the source of human language from the perspective of biological linguistics、Evolution、Development and mutation research is gradually unveiling its mysterious veil。

Research on biological linguistics (human) language as a biological organs inside the body of the body。Promote the development of linguistics and other related disciplines from the perspective of creature,Mainly considers from the following aspects: first,Its interdisciplinary properties can essentially promote the development of the essential research of humans (language) in essence; second,Theoretically, the study of language origin and evolution can be promoted in theory,and even explore the origin and evolution of human beings; third,It can be predicted from practicality、Prevent language barrier,It can even promote the development of clinical medicine,Especially the treatment of diseases caused by language disorders or defects。

From the perspective of the current academic research environment,Biological linguistics has become a hot topic for research at home and abroad。We think,Related research should be promoted in the direction of using related theories to solve practical problems,Therefore, the origin of human language、Evolution、Development、Mutations do more in -depth exploration。
