Un módulo lingüístico emergido por “simbiogénesis” y adaptado para una gramática generativa no transformacional

Alicia Escalonilla González

Resumen


A linguistic module emerged by “symbiogenesis” and adapted for a non-transformational generative grammar

In this paper I will defend TELEs, the theory of language evolution by three emergences and natural selection. The aim is to support the first step, wherein language is the resulting module of an associative emergence from two previous modules that are responsible for conceptual and syntactic aspects, respectively. My strategy will consist of showing the consistency between the latest research in various disciplines (philosophy: multimodularity; biology: symbiogenesis, emergence, exaptation, and linguistics: nontransformational generative grammars) as well as my own theory.

 

Key words: Origin of language, TESE theory, module, multimodularity, symbiogenesis, emergence, exaptation, non-transformational generative grammars.
