摘要

动物语言学是一个跨学科领域,它整合了动物行为学、语言学和认知科学,以探讨以下问题:(a)动物信号的含义;(b)产生和理解这些信号所需的认知能力;以及(c)交流系统是如何进化的。尽管传统观念认为语言是通过人类祖先的单一突变进化而来的,但不断积累的证据表明,人类语言所依赖的许多认知能力也是在非人类动物中进化而来的。例如,几种鸟类和非人灵长类动物通过特定的发声来传达概念意义,和/或利用句法规则将多种含意的叫声组合成序列。动物语言学利用受认知科学和语言学启发的实验范式,旨在揭示动物语言的认知机制并探索其进化原理。本综述回顾了以往探索动物语言含义和认知能力的研究,并介绍了这一新兴领域的主要方法。

Animal Linguistics
Animal linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates animal behavior, linguistics, and cognitive science to explore issues such as (a) what animal signals mean, (b) what cognitive abilities are necessary for the production and understanding of these signals, and (c) how communication systems have evolved. Despite the traditional belief that language evolved through a single mutation in our ancestors, accumulating evidence suggests that many cognitive abilities underlying human language have also evolved in nonhuman animals. For example, several species of birds and nonhuman primates convey conceptual meanings through specific vocalizations and/or combine multiple meaning-bearing calls into sequences using syntactic rules. Using experimental paradigms inspired by cognitive science and linguistics, animal linguistics aims to uncover the cognitive mechanisms underlying animal language and explores its evolutionary principles. This review examines previous studies exploring the meanings and cognitive abilities underlying animal language and introduces key methodologies in this emerging field.

期刊介绍: The Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics is a scholarly publication that has been in circulation since 1970. It focuses on important advancements in the areas of ecology, evolutionary biology, and systematics, with relevance to all forms of life on Earth. The journal features essay reviews that encompass various topics such as phylogeny, speciation, molecular evolution, behavior, evolutionary physiology, population dynamics, ecosystem processes, and applications in invasion biology, conservation, and environmental management. Recently, the current volume of the journal transitioned from a subscription-based model to open access through the Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. Consequently, all articles published in the current volume are now available under a CC BY license.
