The leading scholars in the rapidly growing field of language evolution give readable accounts of their theories on the origins of language and reflect on the most important current issues and debates. As well as providing a guide to their own published research in this area they highlight what they see as the most relevant research of others. The authors come from the wide range of disciplines involved in language evolution including linguistics, cognitive science, computational science, primatology, and archaeology.
