For many scholars, it is the recursive aspect of human speech that makes it truly human. But linguists continue to argue about what recursion actually is, leading to the central dilemma: is full recursion, as defined by mathematicians, really necessary for human language? Language and Recursion defines the elusive construct with the goal of furthering research into language and cognition. An up-to-date literature review surveys extensive findings based on non-verbal communication devices and neuroimaging techniques. Comparing human and non-human primate communication, the book’s contributors examine meaning in chimpanzee calls, and consider the possibility of a specific brain structure for recursion. The implications are then extended to formal grammars associated with artificial intelligence, and to the question of whether recursion is a valid concept at all. Among the topics covered: • The pragmatic origins of recursion. • Recursive cognition as a prelude to language. • Computer simulations of recursive exercises for a non-verbal communication device. • Early rule learning ability and lan | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | 关键词 | artificial intelligence and language; basal ganglia and language; differences in human and animal lang | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-9414-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-3153-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-9414-0 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 |
