  • An evolutionary approach to low-level conversational cooperation 
    Wacewicz, Sławomir; Żywiczyński, Przemysław; Chiera, Alessandra (2017)
    The cooperative character of language is an empirical fact and one of the key tenets in linguistics. However, this cooperative character is what makes it evolutionarily suspect: under normal circumstances sharing honest ...
  • Evolutionary Stability of Linguistic Politeness and the Politeness Equilibrium Principle 
    Muehlenbernd, Roland; Żywiczyński, Przemysław; Wacewicz, Sławomir (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika, 2018)
    Unlike many facets of language – phonology, syntax, semantics or even prag- matics – linguistic politeness (LP) has attracted little attention of evolutionarily minded researchers. We think that this lack of ...
  • Language origins: Fitness consequences, platform of trust, cooperation, and turn-taking 
    Wacewicz, Sławomir; Żywiczyński, Przemysław (2018-04-26)
    In this paper, we complement proximate or ‘how’ explanations for the origins of language, broadening our perspective to include fitness-consequences explanations, i.e. ultimate, or ‘why’ explanations. We identify the ...
  • Multimodal-first or pantomime-first? 
    Zlatev, Jordan; Żywiczyński, Przemysław; van de Weijer, Joost; Wacewicz, Sławomir (John Bejnamins, 2017-11)
    A persistent controversy in language evolution research has been whether language emerged in the gestural-visual or in the vocal-auditory modality. A “dialectic” solution to this age-old debate has now been gaining ground: ...
  • Pantolang: A synthetic cognitive-semiotic approach to language origins 
    Zlatev, Jordan; Devylder, Simon; Wacewicz, Sławomir; Żywiczyński, Przemysław; Ferretti, Francesco; Adornetti, Ines; Chiera, Alessandra (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika, 2018)
    We present an ongoing international project, From Pantomime to Language (PANTOLANG), aiming to develop a comprehensive, empirically grounded theory of the evolution of human language and the human mind, relying on the new ...
  • The multimodal origins of linguistic communication 
    Wacewicz, Sławomir; Żywiczyński, Przemysław (2016)
    Why is language unique? How and why did it emerge? Such questions are emblematic of the Western intellectual tradition, and while some even today see them as intractable, a majority consider the problem of language origins ...
  • The shades of social. A discussion of "The social origins of language", ed. Daniel Dor, Chris Knight and Jerome Lewis 
    Wacewicz, Sławomir (2015-01-31)
    Turning to the social dimension has been an influential trend in recent language evolution literature, as documented by e.g. Dunbar  et al. (ed. 2014), Scott-Phillips (2014), or Pina and Gontier (ed. 2014). The social ...
