邦訳:『チョムスキー言語学講義—言語はいかにして進化したか』(ちくま学芸文庫・2017年10月)New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2015. Berwick and Chomsky discuss the biolinguistic perspective on language, which views language as a particular object of the biological world; the computational efficiency of language as a system of thought and understanding; the tension between Darwin's idea of gradual change and our contemporary understanding about evolutionary change and language; and evidence from nonhuman animals, in particular vocal learning in songbirds.
