Xenolinguistics: Towards a Science of Extraterrestrial Language
Editat de Douglas A. Vakoch, Jeffrey Punskeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2023
Showcasing an interdisciplinary dialogue between a set of highly established scholars, this volume:
- Clarifies what is and is not known about human language and animal communication systems
- Presents speculative arguments as a philosophical exercise to help define the boundaries of what our current science can tell us about non-speculative areas of investigation
- Provides readers with a clearer sense of how our knowledge about language is better informed through a cross-disciplinary investigation
- Offers a better understanding of future avenues of research on language
