摘要

嗅觉作为一种符号学形态,受到的关注相对较少。然而,化学符合性和符合性是动物符合性的基本组成部分,发生在动物分类群中。事实上,从进化的角度来看,嗅觉被认为是最古老的感觉方式之一,而且值得注意的是,即使是单细胞生物,如大肠杆菌,在觅食营养物质时也会利用一种化学合成形式,这是一个被称为“趋化性”的过程的一部分。此外,许多分类群体已经进化到产生专门的“符号化学物质”(通常被称为信息素或同种素),其唯一目的是作为一种社会信号扩散到环境中。在本文中,我强调了Umwelt理论在研究动物交流时的重要性,通过回顾不太明显和直观的化学符号学模式,跨越动物分类群。然后,我继续在语言框架内讨论化学符号学,并认为复杂模式识别是语言学理论的基础。因此,当考虑到信号的传输和解码中的时间因素时,我探索了化学符号学与语言具有共同特征的概念。此外,我提供了话语证据,以支持基于信号传输和认知复杂模式识别的结构和功能方面的感官知觉统一理论。最后,我提出了语言进化的化学符号学假说。

Chemiosemiosis and Complex Patterned Signals: A Chemosemiotic Hypothesis of Language Evolution
Abstract Olfaction, as a semiotic modality, receives relatively less attention than other sensory modalities. However, chemiosemiosis and semiochemicals are fundamental components of zoosemiosis, occurring across animal taxonomic groups. Indeed, olfaction is thought to be one of the most ancient sensory modalities from an evolutionary perspective and significantly, even unicellular organisms, such as the bacterium Escherichia coli, utilize a form of chemiosemiosis when foraging for nutrients, as part of a process known as ‘chemotaxis’. Further, many taxonomic groups have evolved to produce dedicated ‘semiochemicals’ (often known as pheromones or allomones) which have the sole purpose of being diffused into the environment as a social signal. In this paper, I highlight the importance of Umwelt theory when studying animal communication, by reviewing the less conspicuous and intuitive chemiosemiotic modality, across animal taxa. I then go on to discuss chemiosemiosis within a linguistic framework and argue that complex pattern recognition underpins linguistic theory. Thus, I explore the concept that chemiosemiosis has features in common with language, when the factor of time, in the transmission and decoding of a signal, is taken into account. Moreover, I provide discursive evidence in support of a unified theory of sensory perception, based on structural and functional aspects of signal transmission and cognitive complex pattern recognition. I conclude by proposing a chemosemiotic hypothesis of language evolution.
