The Interactional Instinct: The Evolution and Acquisition of Language
Lee, Namhee (, Defense Language Institute)
The Interactional Instinct presents a theory of language based on linguistic, evolutionary, and biological evidence indicating that language is a culturally inherited artifact that requires no a priori hard wiring of linguistic knowledge. Its structure evolved phylo- genetically from interaction among speakers and is acquired through emotionally entrained interaction with conspecifics.
