Ideophones and the Evolution of Language
Haiman, John (Macalester College, Minnesota)
This cross-linguistic study explores the role of the ideophone - a single word that conveys an impression of what it describes - in language evolution. It argues that ideophones provide the 'missing link' in our knowledge of how communication has evolved from early gestured performance through to spoken language today.
