Roots of language

Více o knize

Focusing on the development of creole languages, the work introduces a groundbreaking theory linking their creation to universal language properties. It argues that these properties also appear in first-language acquisition and the evolution of language itself. The book sparked considerable debate and research in the field, challenging long-held views on language evolution. This edition includes a foreword that updates the original theory and references the author's later work for a deeper exploration of these concepts.
