  • 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 ...
  • Language Origins: From mythology to science, 226 s. 
    Żywiczyński, Przemysław (Peter Lang, 2018)
    The science of language evolution appeared at the end of the last century but top¬ically belongs to language origins – the domain of investigation that is concerned with the beginnings and diversification of language. ...
  • 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 Evolution of Language: Towards Gestural Hypotheses, 208 s. 
    Żywiczyński, Przemysław; Wacewicz, Sławomir (Peter Lang Publishing, 2019-08)
    Why is language unique? How did language come about? When did this happen? Those questions, although quite emblematic of the Western intellectual tradition since its ancient beginnings, so far have not found satisfying ...
  • 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 ...
