About The Book

Human language seems to have arisen roughly within the last 50-100000 years. In evolutionary terms this is the mere blink of an eye. If this is correct then much of what we consider distinctive to language must in fact involve operations available in pre-linguistic cognitive domains. In this book Norbert Hornstein one of the most influential linguists working on syntax discusses a topical set of issues in syntactic theory including a number of original proposals at the cutting edge of research in this area. He provides a theory of the basic grammatical operations and suggests that there is only one that is distinctive to language. If this theory is correct then this narrows the evolutionary gap between verbal and non-verbal primates thus facilitating the rapid evolutionary emergence of our linguistic capacity.
